Altnames are accessed under RCU (dev_get_by_name_rcu())
but freed by kfree() with no synchronization point.
Each node has one or two allocations (node and a variable-size
name, sometimes the name is netdev->name). Adding rcu_heads
here is a bit tedious. Besides most code which unlists the names
already has rcu barriers - so take the simpler approach of adding
synchronize_rcu(). Note that the one on the unregistration path
(which matters more) is removed by the next fix.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
