[PATCH net-next v3 3/3] arp: switch to dev_getbyhwaddr() in arp_req_set_public()

[Breno Leitao]

The arp_req_set_public() function is called with the RTNL lock held,
which provides enough synchronization protection. This makes the RCU
variant of dev_getbyhwaddr() unnecessary. Switch to using the simpler
dev_getbyhwaddr() function since we already have the required rtnl
locking.

This change helps maintain consistency in the networking code by using
the appropriate helper function for the existing locking context.
