Here is v2 of patch, adding protection in gen_estimator_active() as
well.

[PATCH net-2.6 v2] pkt_sched: gen_estimator: add a new lock

gen_kill_estimator() / gen_new_estimator() is not always called with
RTNL held.

net/netfilter/xt_RATEEST.c is one user of these API that do not hold
RTNL, so random corruptions can occur between "tc" and "iptables".

Add a new fine grained lock instead of trying to use RTNL in netfilter.
