Ying Xue ca07fb07c9 tipc: adjust locking policy of protecting tipc_ptr pointer of net_device ... Currently the 'tipc_ptr' pointer is protected by tipc_net_lock write lock on write side, and RCU read lock is applied to read side. In addition, there have two paths on write side where we may change variables pointed by the 'tipc_ptr' pointer: one is to configure bearer by tipc-config tool and another one is that bearer status is changed by notification events of its attached interface. But on the latter path, we improperly deem that accessing 'tipc_ptr' pointer happens on read side with rcu_read_lock() although some variables pointed by the 'tipc_ptr' pointer are changed possibly. Moreover, as now the both paths are guarded by RTNL lock, it's better to adjust the locking policy of 'tipc_ptr' pointer protection, allowing RTNL instead of tipc_net_lock write lock to protect it on write side, which will help us purge tipc_net_lock in the future.
