From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@xxxxxxxxx>
Goal of this patch is to permit nfnetlink providers not mandate
nfnl_mutex being held while nfnetlink_rcv_msg() calls them.
If struct nfnl_callback contains a non NULL call_rcu(), then
nfnetlink_rcv_msg() will use it instead of call() field, holding
rcu_read_lock instead of nfnl_mutex
