[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH] net: hsr: Pass lockdep expression to RCU lists

node_db is traversed using list_for_each_entry_rcu
outside an RCU read-side critical section but under the protection
of hsr->list_lock.

Hence, add corresponding lockdep expression to silence false-positive
warnings, and harden RCU lists.
