Subject: ipv6: Annotate change of locking mechanism for np->opt
X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~8298^2~228

ipv6: Annotate change of locking mechanism for np->opt

follows up commit 45f6fad84cc3 ("ipv6: add complete rcu protection around
np->opt") which added mixed rcu/refcount protection to np->opt.

Given the current implementation of rcu_pointer_handoff(), this has no
effect at runtime.
