ipv6: get rid of ipip6_prl_lock
As noticed by Julia Lawall, ipip6_tunnel_add_prl() incorrectly calls
kzallloc(..., GFP_KERNEL) while a spinlock is held. She provided
a patch to use GFP_ATOMIC instead.
One possibility would be to convert this spinlock to a mutex, or
preallocate the thing before taking the lock.
After RCU conversion, it appears we dont need this lock, since
caller already holds RTNL
