While this 'removes' the warning, this doesn't solve the fundamental
problem.

If you write :

rcu_read_lock();
netdev = __vlan_find_dev_deep(...)
rcu_read_unlock();

Then you cannot dereference netdev safely after the unlock.

In order to do so, you need to take a reference on netdev (aka
dev_hold()) before doing rcu_read_unlock();

And of course, release it later (aka dev_put()) when you are done with
netdev.
