This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.
===============
[ Upstream commit 44c3d0c1c0a880354e9de5d94175742e2c7c9683 ]
Silence lockdep false positive about rcu_dereference() being
used in the wrong context.
First one should use rcu_dereference_protected() as we own the spinlock.
Second one should be a normal assignation, as no barrier is needed.
Fixes: 18367681a10bd ("ipv6 flowlabel: Convert np->ipv6_fl_list to RCU.")
