arp: switch to dev_getbyhwaddr() in arp_req_set_public()
The arp_req_set_public() function is called with the rtnl lock held,
which provides enough synchronization protection. This makes the RCU
variant of dev_getbyhwaddr() unnecessary. Switch to using the simpler
dev_getbyhwaddr() function since we already have the required rtnl
locking.
This change helps maintain consistency in the networking code by using
the appropriate helper function for the existing locking context.
Since we're not holding the RCU read lock in arp_req_set_public()
existing code could trigger false positive locking warnings.
Fixes: 941666c2e3e0 ("net: RCU conversion of dev_getbyhwaddr() and arp_ioctl()")
