[PATCH] net: wrong test in inet_ehash_locks_alloc()

[PATCH] net: wrong test in inet_ehash_locks_alloc()

[Eric Dumazet]

In commit 9db66bdcc83749affe61c61eb8ff3cf08f42afec
(net: convert TCP/DCCP ehash rwlocks to spinlocks), I forgot to change
 one occurrence of rwlock_t to spinlock_t

I believe sizeof(raw_spinlock_t) might be > 0 on !CONFIG_SMP if CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK
while sizeof(raw_rwlock_t) should be 0 in this case.

Fortunatly, CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK adds fields to both spinlock_t and rwlock_t,
but at this might change in the future (being able to debug spinlocks but not rwlocks for
example), better to be safe.

Agreed, applied.

Thanks Eric.
