[PATCH net] netfilter: ctnetlink: fix suspicious RCU usage in expect_iter_name

[Naman Gulati]

expect_iter_name() is invoked by nf_ct_expect_iterate_net() under
spin_lock_bh(&nf_conntrack_expect_lock). It does not hold
rcu_read_lock().

When accessing exp->helper with rcu_dereference() in syzbot's report,
lockdep warns:

  =============================

Use rcu_dereference_protected() with lockdep_is_held() on
nf_conntrack_expect_lock instead, similar to expect_iter_me() in
nf_conntrack_helper.c.
