Note that the xtables af mutexes are not per-netns, the race is iptables
vs. ip6tables.

Right, both the lock and the hashtable. I can do it for net-next,
if you don't.

Yeah, need to merge these two critical sections.

Thanks.

We probably should make this module netns aware, otherwise bad things
will happen.

(It seems multiple threads could run, so getting the mutex twice 
(xt_rateest_lookup then xt_rateest_hash_insert() is racy)
