rtnetlink: Make per-netns RTNL dereference helpers to macro.
When CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL is off, rtnl_net_dereference() is the static inline wrapper of rtnl_dereference() returning a plain (void *) pointer to make sure net is always evaluated as requested in [0]. But, it makes sparse complain [1] when the pointer has __rcu annotation: net/ipv4/devinet.c:674:47: sparse: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces) net/ipv4/devinet.c:674:47: sparse: expected void *p net/ipv4/devinet.c:674:47: sparse: got struct in_ifaddr [noderef] __rcu * Also, if we evaluate net as (void *) in a macro, then the compiler in turn fails to build due to -Werror=unused-value. #define rtnl_net_dereference(net, p) \ ({ \ (void *)net; \ rtnl_dereference(p); \ }) net/ipv4/devinet.c: In function ‘inet_rtm_deladdr’: ./include/linux/rtnetlink.h:154:17: error: statement with no effect [-Werror=unused-value] 154 | (void *)net; \ net/ipv4/devinet.c:674:21: note: in expansion of macro ‘rtnl_net_dereference’ 674 | (ifa = rtnl_net_dereference(net, *ifap)) != NULL; | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let's go back to the original simplest macro. Note that checkpatch complains about this approach, but it's one-shot and less noisy than the other two.
