netpoll: Use rtnl_dereference() for npinfo pointer access

In the __netpoll_setup() function, when accessing the device's npinfo
pointer, replace rcu_access_pointer() with rtnl_dereference(). This
change is more appropriate, as suggested by Herbert Xu[1].

The function is called with the RTNL mutex held, and the pointer is
being dereferenced later, so, dereference earlier and just reuse the
pointer for the if/else.

The replacement ensures correct pointer access while maintaining
the existing locking and RCU semantics of the netpoll subsystem.
