[ Upstream commit 17a8f31bba7bac8cce4bd12bab50697da96e7710 ]
Netfilter assumes its called with rcu_read_lock held, but in egress
hook case it may be called with BH readlock.
This triggers lockdep splat.
In order to avoid to change all rcu_dereference() to
rcu_dereference_check(..., rcu_read_lock_bh_held()), wrap nf_hook_slow
with read lock/unlock pair.
