commit 96b33300fba880ec0eafcf3d82486f3463b4b6da upstream.
rbtree GC does not modify the datastructure, instead it collects expired
elements and it enqueues a GC transaction. Use a read spinlock instead
to avoid data contention while GC worker is running.
Fixes: f6c383b8c31a ("netfilter: nf_tables: adapt set backend to use GC transaction API")
