During the discussion[0] of Hangbin's multicast patch series, Martin pointed out
that the lifetime of the RCU-protected  map entries used by XDP_REDIRECT is by
no means obvious. I promised to look into cleaning this up, and Paul helpfully
provided some hints and a new unrcu_pointer() helper to aid in this.

It seems[1] that back in the early days of XDP, local_bh_disable() did not
provide RCU protection, which is why the rcu_read_lock() calls were added
to drivers in the first place. But according to Paul[2], in recent kernels
a local_bh_disable()/local_bh_enable() pair functions as one big RCU
read-side section, so no further protection is needed. This even applies to
-rt kernels, which has an explicit rcu_read_lock() in place as part of the
local_bh_disable()[3].
