Ido Schimmel 3ebaf6da07 net: sched: Do not assume RTNL is held in tunnel key action helpers
The cited commit removed RTNL from tc_setup_flow_action(), but the
function calls two tunnel key action helpers that use rtnl_dereference()
to fetch the action's parameters. This leads to "suspicious RCU usage"
warnings [1][2].

Change the helpers to use rcu_dereference_protected() while requiring
the action's lock to be held. This is safe because the two helpers are
only called from tc_setup_flow_action() which acquires the lock.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
