net: fix possible store tearing in neigh_periodic_work()



[ Upstream commit 25563b58 ]

While looking at a related syzbot report involving neigh_periodic_work(),
I found that I forgot to add an annotation when deleting an
RCU protected item from a list.

Readers use rcu_deference(*np), we need to use either
rcu_assign_pointer() or WRITE_ONCE() on writer side
to prevent store tearing.

I use rcu_assign_pointer() to have lockdep support,
this was the choice made in neigh_flush_dev().

Fixes: 767e97e1 ("neigh: RCU conversion of struct neighbour")
