Switching from ->priv_destructor to dellink() has an unexpected consequence: existing RCU readers, that is, hsr_port_get_hsr() callers, may still be able to read the port list. Instead of checking the return value of each hsr_port_get_hsr(), we can just move it to ->ndo_uninit() which is called after device unregister and synchronize_net(), and we still have RTNL lock there.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
