This patch replaces some unnecessary uses of rcu_dereference_raw in the rhashtable code with rcu_dereference_protected. The top-level nested table entry is only marked as RCU because it shares the same type as the tree entries underneath it. So it doesn't need any RCU protection. We also don't need RCU protection when we're freeing a nested RCU table because by this stage we've long passed a memory barrier when anyone could change the nested table.

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.
