netpoll: Use rcu_access_pointer() in __netpoll_setup
[ Upstream commit c69c5e10adb903ae2438d4f9c16eccf43d1fcbc1 ] The ndev->npinfo pointer in __netpoll_setup() is RCU-protected but is being accessed directly for a NULL check. While no RCU read lock is held in this context, we should still use proper RCU primitives for consistency and correctness. Replace the direct NULL check with rcu_access_pointer(), which is the appropriate primitive when only checking for NULL without dereferencing the pointer. This function provides the necessary ordering guarantees without requiring RCU read-side protection. Reviewed-by:Michal Kubiak <michal.kubiak@intel.com> Signed-off-by:
