Fix potential scheduling while atomic in mesh_path_add.
Calling synchronize_rcu() under write-lock-ed pathtbl_resize_lock may result in this warning (and other side effects). It looks safe just dropping this lock before calling synchronize_rcu. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
