In order to remove rtnl lock dependency from flow_action representation translator, change rcu_dereference_bh_rtnl() to rcu_dereference_protected() in police action helpers that provide external access to rate and burst values. This is safe to do because the functions are not called from anywhere else outside flow_action infrastructure which was modified to obtain tcf_lock when accessing action data in one of previous patches in the series.

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.
