Some of the XDP helpers (in particular, xdp_do_redirect()) will get a
struct net_device reference using dev_get_by_index_rcu(). These are called
from a NAPI poll context, which means the RCU reference liveness is ensured
by local_bh_disable(). Add rcu_read_lock_bh_held() as a condition to the
RCU list traversal in dev_get_by_index_rcu() so lockdep understands that
the dereferences are safe from *both* an rcu_read_lock() *and* with
local_bh_disable().

Is it needed?  hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() checks for
rcu_read_lock_any_held().  Did lockdep complain?

Ah, yes, I think you're right. I totally missed that
rcu_read_lock_any_held() includes a '!preemptible()' check at the end.
I'll drop this patch, then!
