[PATCH nf-next] netfilter: nft_meta: no longer acquire sk_callback_lock in nft_meta_get_eval_skugid()

[Eric Dumazet]

After commit 983512f3a87f ("net: Drop the lock in skb_may_tx_timestamp()")
from Sebastian Andrzej Siewior, apply the same logic in
nft_meta_get_eval_skugid() to avoid touching sk->sk_callback_lock.
