net: Protect iterations over net::fib_notifier_ops in fib_seq_sum()
There is at least unlocked deletion of net->ipv4.fib_notifier_ops
from net::fib_notifier_ops:
ip_fib_net_exit()
rtnl_unlock()
fib4_notifier_exit()
fib_notifier_ops_unregister(net->ipv4.notifier_ops)
list_del_rcu(&ops->list)
So fib_seq_sum() can't use rtnl_lock() only for protection.
The possible solution could be to use rtnl_lock()
in fib_notifier_ops_unregister(), but this adds
a possible delay during net namespace creation,
so we better use rcu_read_lock() till someone
really needs the mutex (if that happens).
