[PATCH bpf-next 12/17] nfp: remove rcu_read_lock() around XDP program invocation

["Toke Høiland-Jørgensen" <toke@redhat.com>]

The nfp driver has rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs around XDP
program invocations. However, the actual lifetime of the objects referred
by the XDP program invocation is longer, all the way through to the call to
xdp_do_flush(), making the scope of the rcu_read_lock() too small.

While this is not actually an issue for the nfp driver because it doesn't
support XDP_REDIRECT (and thus doesn't call xdp_do_flush()), the
rcu_read_lock() is still unneeded. And With the addition of RCU annotations
to the XDP_REDIRECT map types that take bh execution into account, lockdep
even understands this to be safe, so there's really no reason to keep it
around.
