[PATCH 6/8] netfilter: nft_rbtree: fix locking

[Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>]

From: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>

Fix a race condition and unnecessary locking:

* the root rb_node must only be accessed under the lock in nft_rbtree_lookup()
* the lock is not needed in lookup functions in netlink context
