netpoll: Use rtnl_dereference() for npinfo pointer access
In the __netpoll_setup() function, when accessing the device's npinfo
pointer, replace rcu_access_pointer() with rtnl_dereference(). This
change is more appropriate, as suggested by Herbert Xu[1].
The function is called with the RTNL mutex held, and the pointer is
being dereferenced later, so, dereference earlier and just reuse the
pointer for the if/else.
The replacement ensures correct pointer access while maintaining
the existing locking and RCU semantics of the netpoll subsystem.
