The CONFIG_PROVE_RCU option discovered a few invalid uses of rcu_dereference() in netfilter. In all these cases, the code code intends to check whether a pointer is already assigned when performing registration or whether the assigned pointer matches when performing unregistration. The entire registration/ unregistration is protected by a mutex, so we don't need the rcu_dereference() calls.
