[bpf PATCH 2/2] bpf: xdp, remove no longer required rcu_read_{un}lock()

[John Fastabend <john.fastabend@gmail.com>]

Now that we depend on rcu_call() and synchronize_rcu() to also wait
for preempt_disabled region to complete the rcu read critical section
in __dev_map_flush() is no longer relevant.

These originally ensured the map reference was safe while a map was
also being free'd. But flush by new rules can only be called from
preempt-disabled NAPI context. The synchronize_rcu from the map free
path and the rcu_call from the delete path will ensure the reference
here is safe. So lets remove the rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock
pair to avoid any confusion around how this is being protected.

If the rcu_read_lock was required it would mean errors in the above
logic and the original patch would also be wrong.
