Subject: [PATCH bpf 1/4] xsk: Add rcu_read_lock around the XSK wakeup

The XSK wakeup callback in drivers makes some sanity checks before
triggering NAPI. However, some configuration changes may occur during
this function that affect the result of those checks. For example, the
interface can go down, and all the resources will be destroyed after the
checks in the wakeup function, but before it attempts to use these
resources. Wrap this callback in rcu_read_lock to allow driver to
synchronize_rcu before actually destroying the resources.
