Subject: [PATCH net] ipv4: Silence suspicious RCU usage warning

From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@...dia.com>

fib_info_notify_update() is always called with RTNL held, but not from
an RCU read-side critical section. This leads to the following warning
[1] when the FIB table list is traversed with
hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(), but without a proper lockdep expression.

Since modification of the list is protected by RTNL, silence the warning
by adding a lockdep expression which verifies RTNL is held.

[1]

 other info that might help us debug this:
