Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 51/64] llc: avoid blocking in llc_sap_close()

From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 9708d2b5b7c648e8e0a40d11e8cea12f6277f33c ]

llc_sap_close() is called by llc_sap_put() which
could be called in BH context in llc_rcv(). We can't
block in BH.

There is no reason to block it here, kfree_rcu() should
be sufficient.
