Subject: [PATCH RFC bpf-next 2/4] dev: add rcu_read_lock_bh_held() as a valid
 check when getting a RCU dev ref

From: Toke Høiland-Jørgensen <toke@...hat.com>

Some of the XDP helpers (in particular, xdp_do_redirect()) will get a
struct net_device reference using dev_get_by_index_rcu(). These are called
from a NAPI poll context, which means the RCU reference liveness is ensured
by local_bh_disable(). Add rcu_read_lock_bh_held() as a condition to the
RCU list traversal in dev_get_by_index_rcu() so lockdep understands that
the dereferences are safe from *both* an rcu_read_lock() *and* with
local_bh_disable().
