tc/act: remove unneeded RCU lock in action callback Each lockless action currently does its own RCU locking in ->act(). This allows using plain RCU accessor, even if the context is really RCU BH. This change drops the per action RCU lock, replace the accessors with the _bh variant, cleans up a bit the surrounding code and documents the RCU status in the relevant header. No functional nor performance change is intended. The goal of this patch is clarifying that the RCU critical section used by the tc actions extends up to the classifier's caller. v1 -> v2: - preserve rcu lock in act_bpf: it's needed by eBPF helpers, as pointed out by Daniel v3 -> v4: - fixed some typos in the commit message (JiriP) Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
