inet_forward_change() runs with RTNL held. We are allowed to sleep if required. If we use __in_dev_get_rtnl() instead of __in_dev_get_rcu(), we no longer have to use GFP_ATOMIC allocations in inet_netconf_notify_devconf(), meaning we are less likely to miss notifications under memory pressure, and wont touch precious memory reserves either and risk dropping incoming packets. inet_netconf_get_devconf() can also use GFP_KERNEL allocation.
