Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 2/7] net/sched: taprio: taprio_dump and taprio_change are protected by rtnl_mutex

Since the writer-side lock is taken here, we do not need to open an RCU
read-side critical section, instead we can use rtnl_dereference() to
tell lockdep we are serialized with concurrent writes.
