This patch replaces the unnecessary module refcounting with

function are called under the RCU read lock.

Based on a patch from Fabian Hugelshofer.

Applied, thanks.

Some of the new rcu_read_locks wouldn't have been necessary though
since some of the paths can only be reached through nf_hook_slow,
which already does rcu_read_lock() (and we're relying on that in
many spots).
