From: Tianyu Yuan <tianyu.yuan@xxxxxxxxxxxx> When CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING and CONFIG_PROVE_RCU are enabled, using OVS with vf reprs on bridge will lead to following log in dmesg: .../nfp/flower/main.c:269 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1 no locks held by swapper/15/0. ......

However this removal will make RCU lockdep report above warning because of missing of rcu_read_lock()/unlock() pair around rcu_deference(). This patch resolves this problem by replacing rcu_deference() with rcu_dereference_check() to annotate that access is safe if rcu_read_lock/rcu_read_lock_bh is held.
