marvell: Remove rcu_read_lock() around XDP program invocation
The mvneta and mvpp2 drivers have rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() pairs
around XDP program invocations. However, the actual lifetime of the objects
referred by the XDP program invocation is longer, all the way through to
the call to xdp_do_flush(), making the scope of the rcu_read_lock() too
small. This turns out to be harmless because it all happens in a single
NAPI poll cycle (and thus under local_bh_disable()), but it makes the
rcu_read_lock() misleading.
Rather than extend the scope of the rcu_read_lock(), just get rid of it
entirely. With the addition of RCU annotations to the XDP_REDIRECT map
types that take bh execution into account, lockdep even understands this to
be safe, so there's really no reason to keep it around.
