rcu variant is not correct here. The code is called by updater (rtnl
lock is held), not by reader (no rcu_read_lock is held).

Same comment as other one..
I actually i am not so sure about the get_ either.
The core may end up invoking that first before doing a del
so for consistency we need rcu version.
