Subject: [PATCH net] dpll: fix build failure due to rcu_dereference_check() on unknown type

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

Tasmiya reports that their compiler complains that we deref
a pointer to unknown type with rcu_dereference_rtnl():

include/linux/rcupdate.h:439:9: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ‘struct dpll_pin’

Unclear what compiler it is, at the moment, and we can't report
but since DPLL can't be a module - move the code from the header
into the source file.

Fixes: 0d60d8df6f49 ("dpll: rely on rcu for netdev_dpll_pin()")

Sending officially the solution Eric suggested in the report
thread. The bug is pending in the net tree, so I'd like to
put this on an express path, to make today's PR...
