netpoll: take rcu_read_lock_bh() in netpoll_send_skb_on_dev()
This patch fixes several problems in the call path of netpoll_send_skb_on_dev(): 1. Disable IRQ's before calling netpoll_send_skb_on_dev(). 2. All the callees of netpoll_send_skb_on_dev() should use rcu_dereference_bh() to dereference ->npinfo. 3. Rename arp_reply() to netpoll_arp_reply(), the former is too generic. Cc: "David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: Cong Wang <amwang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
