Subject: netfilter: xt_RATEEST: acquire xt_rateest_mutex for hash insert

From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 7dc68e98757a8eccf8ca7a53a29b896f1eef1f76 upstream.

rateest_hash is supposed to be protected by xt_rateest_mutex,
and, as suggested by Eric, lookup and insert should be atomic,
so we should acquire the xt_rateest_mutex once for both.

So introduce a non-locking helper for internal use and keep the
locking one for external.
