Florian Westphal 377cb24884 rtnetlink: use rcu_dereference_raw to silence rcu splat
Ido reports a rcu splat in __rtnl_register.
The splat is correct; as rtnl_register doesn't grab any logs
and doesn't use rcu locks either.  It has always been like this.
handler families are not registered in parallel so there are no
races wrt. the kmalloc ordering.

The only reason to use rcu_dereference in the first place was to
avoid sparse from complaining about this.

Thus this switches to _raw() to not have rcu checks here.

The alternative is to add rtnl locking to register/unregister,
however, I don't see a compelling reason to do so as this has been
lockless for the past twenty years or so.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
