macvlan_hash_lookup() uses list_for_each_entry_rcu() for traversing
outside of an RCU read side critical section but under the protection
of rtnl_mutex. Hence, add the corresponding lockdep expression to
silence the following false-positive warning:

This changelog is misleading.

macvlan_hash_lookup() _can_ be used under RCU only, in its fast path.

So you can not claim that it is run with RTNL held.

Please be precise in the changelogs

Thanks.
