[PATCH net-next 0/2] hsr: lockless hsr_fill_info()

hsr_fill_info() currently relies on RTNL being held, because hsr_port_get_hsr() walks hsr->ports with hsr_for_each_port_rtnl(). - Patch 1 annotates the data-race around hsr->sequence_nr, which is incremented from the transmit paths under hsr->seqnr_lock but read without it. - Patch 2 converts hsr_fill_info() to RCU, using a local RCU variant of hsr_port_get_hsr(). hsr->ports is already an RCU protected list: ports are added with list_add_tail_rcu(), removed with list_del_rcu() and freed with kfree_rcu(), and the data path already iterates over it with hsr_for_each_port(). This is part of a larger effort to remove the RTNL dependency from rtnl_link_ops->fill_info().
