Well virtnet_xdp_xmit seems to be called from .ndo_xdp_xmit
and that isn't in an RCU read-side critical section.

Looks like we just need to add RCU read lock/unlock.
Like the below perhaps?

This issue was introduced by 8dcc5b0ab0 however I find it
inelegant that we need to do checks in each driver,
and add RCU locks just for a startup initialization issue.
Can't XDP core make sure the callback isn't invoked
at an inappropriate time instead?

virtio_net: call virtnet_xdp_xmit with RCU lock

This functions uses rcu_dereference so it needs to be
called in an RCU read-side critical section.

Fixes: 8dcc5b0ab0 ("virtio_net: fix ndo_xdp_xmit crash towards dev not ready for XDP")
