Qian Cai 0a6a9515fe netfilter: nf_tables: silence a RCU-list warning in nft_table_lookup()
It is safe to traverse &net->nft.tables with &net->nft.commit_mutex
held using list_for_each_entry_rcu(). Silence the PROVE_RCU_LIST false
positive,

WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:523 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

other info that might help us debug this:

rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1
1 lock held by iptables/1384:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
