Flower classifier only changes root pointer during init and destroy. Cls API implements reference counting for tcf_proto, so there is no danger of concurrent access to tp when it is being destroyed, even without protection provided by rtnl lock. Implement new function fl_head_dereference() to dereference tp->root without checking for rtnl lock. Use it in all flower function that obtain head pointer instead of rtnl_dereference().

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.
