[ Upstream commit b4846fc3c8559649277e3e4e6b5cec5348a8d208 ]

Andrey reported a lockdep warning on non-initialized spinlock:

INFO: trying to register non-static key.
the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.
turning off the locking correctness validator.

We miss a spin_lock_init() in igmpv3_add_delrec(), probably because previously we never use it on this code path. Since we already unlink it from the global mc_tomb list, it is probably safe not to acquire this spinlock here. It does not harm to have it although, to avoid conditional locking.

Fixes c38b7d327aaf ("igmp: acquire pmc lock for ip_mc_clear_src()")
