netpoll: hold rcu read lock in __netpoll_send_skb()
The function __netpoll_send_skb() is being invoked without holding the RCU read lock. This oversight triggers a warning message when CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST is enabled: net/core/netpoll.c:330 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! netpoll_send_skb netpoll_send_udp write_ext_msg console_flush_all console_unlock vprintk_emit To prevent npinfo from disappearing unexpectedly, ensure that __netpoll_send_skb() is protected with the RCU read lock.
