ipv4: do not abuse GFP_ATOMIC in inet_netconf_notify_devconf()

commit fa17806cde76fb1087532f07e72aa757a30e0500 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: 9e5511106f99 ("rtnl/ipv4: add support of RTM_GETNETCONF")
