Subject: [PATCH net 2/5] rxrpc: peer->mtu_lock is redundant

The peer->mtu_lock is only used to lock around writes to peer->max_data -
and nothing else; further, all such writes take place in the I/O thread and
the lock is only ever write-locked and never read-locked.

In a couple of places, the write_seqcount_begin() is wrapped in
preempt_disable/enable(), but not in all places.  This can cause lockdep to
complain:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1549 at include/linux/seqlock.h:221 rxrpc_input_ack_trailer+0x305/0x430
...
RIP: 0010:rxrpc_input_ack_trailer+0x305/0x430

Fix this by just getting rid of the lock.

Fixes: eeaedc5449d9 ("rxrpc: Implement path-MTU probing using padded PING ACKs (RFC8899)")
