After this change,\nthe netdev_destroy() callback can proceed immediately to the call_rcu()\ninvocation if the IFF_OVS_DATAPATH flag is already cleared on the\nnetdev.\n\nThe ovs_netdev_detach_dev() function clears the flag before completing\nthe unregistration, and if it gets preempted after clearing the flag (as\ncan happen on an -rt kernel), netdev_destroy() can complete and the\ndevice can be freed before the unregistration completes. This leads to a\nsplat like:\n\n[  998.393867] Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xff00000001000239: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI\n[  998.393877] CPU: 42 UID: 0 PID: 55177 Comm: ip Kdump: loaded Not tainted 6.12.0-211.1.1.el10_2.x86_64+rt #1 PREEMPT_RT\n[  998.393886] Hardware name: Dell Inc.
