4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ 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.
