[PATCH net-next] net: rmnet: annotate endpoint lookup under RTNL

[PATCH net-next] net: rmnet: annotate endpoint lookup under RTNL

[Runyu Xiao]

rmnet_get_endpoint() is shared by packet receive paths and
RTNL-protected control paths. The receive paths already run under RCU/BH
context through the RX handler, while the control paths reach
rmnet_get_endpoint() after obtaining the rmnet port with
rmnet_get_port_rtnl().

The helper walks port->muxed_ep[] with hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(). Pass
lockdep_rtnl_is_held() as the non-RCU protection condition so
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST can see the RTNL-protected control-path calls
while preserving the existing RCU-reader behavior for data paths.

This was found by our static analysis tool and then manually reviewed
against the current tree. The dynamic triage evidence is a
target-matched CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST warning; the change is limited
to documenting the existing protection contract.

This is a lockdep annotation cleanup. It does not change endpoint
lifetime or hash updates.
