Subject: [PATCH net] veth: rely on rtnl_dereference() instead of on rcu_dereference() in veth_set_xdp_features()

Fix the following kernel warning in veth_set_xdp_features routine
relying on rtnl_dereference() instead of on rcu_dereference():

=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage

-----------------------------
drivers/net/veth.c:1265 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
1 lock held by ip/135:
(net/core/rtnetlink.c:6172)
