[PATCH] net: remove bogus RCU annotations on socket.wq

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Mon Jul 30 2018 - 03:45:21 EST


We never use RCU protection for it, just a lot of cargo-cult
rcu_deference_protects calls.

Note that we do keep the kfree_rcu call for it, as the references through
struct sock are RCU protected and thus might require a grace period before
freeing.
