Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: ipset: mark the rcu locked areas properly

When we bump the uref counter, there's no need to keep
the rcu lock because the referred hash table can't
disappear. Also, from the same reason in mtype_gc we
need the rcu lock and not a spinlock.
