ipv4: do not abuse GFP_ATOMIC in inet_netconf_notify_devconf()

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878232

commit fa17806c upstream.

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.

Fixes: edc9e748 ("rtnl/ipv4: use netconf msg to advertise forwarding status")
Fixes: 9e551110 ("rtnl/ipv4: add support of RTM_GETNETCONF")
