Breno LeitaoandGreg Kroah-Hartman 4802caac25 netpoll: Use rcu_access_pointer() in netpoll_poll_lock
[ Upstream commit a57d5a72f8 ]

The ndev->npinfo pointer in netpoll_poll_lock() 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.
