net: use hlist_del_rcu() in dev_change_name()
Using plain hlist_del() in dev_change_name() is wrong since a concurrent reader can crash trying to dereference LIST_POISON1. Bug introduced in commit 72c9528bab94 (net: Introduce dev_get_by_name_rcu()) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
