From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> When sets are extremely large we can get softlockup during ipset -L. We could fix this by adding cond_resched_rcu() at the right location during iteration, but this only works if RCU nesting depth is 1. At this time entire variant->list() is called under under rcu_read_lock_bh. This used to be a read_lock_bh() but as rcu doesn't really lock anything, it does not appear to be needed, so remove it (ipset increments set reference count before this, so a set deletion should not be possible).
