The destroy operation is split into two parts. The second one is called 
now via call_rcu() when neither NFNL_SUBSYS_IPSET is held nor it is an rcu 
protected area, which conditions are checked by __ipset_dereference(). So 
the original lines above and below would generate suspicious RCU usage 
warnings. That's why I removed these two __ipset_dereference() calls.

Yeah, that's due to 'struct hbucket *' != 'struct hbucket __rcu *'. 
I'll send a patch to fix it. Thanks!
