staging: Additional item for rtl8188eu TODO list 



The rtw_recv_indicatepkt() function in the file named
drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/os_dep/recv_linux.c has this strange code:

	rcu_read_lock();
	rcu_dereference(padapter->pnetdev->rx_handler_data);
	rcu_read_unlock();

This code has no effect.  Normally, you would assign the result of
rcu_dereference() to some variable, but it is not clear from the
code what variable that would be.  Therefore, this patch applies to
the TODO file instead of the code itself.

  Perhaps delete it, perhaps assign to some local variable.
