[ Upstream commit c69c5e10adb903ae2438d4f9c16eccf43d1fcbc1 ]
The ndev->npinfo pointer in __netpoll_setup() is RCU-protected but is being
accessed directly for a NULL check. While no RCU read lock is held in this
context, we should still use proper RCU primitives for consistency and
correctness.
Replace the direct NULL check with rcu_access_pointer(), which is the
appropriate primitive when only checking for NULL without dereferencing
the pointer. This function provides the necessary ordering guarantees
without requiring RCU read-side protection.
