Subject: [PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 03/80] openvswitch: Silence RCU lockdep checks from flow lookup.

3.13.11-ckt17 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jesse Gross <jesse@...ira.com>

commit 663efa3696232300a8ad3a46bb10482fc0b861cf upstream.

Flow lookup can happen either in packet processing context or userspace
context but it was annotated as requiring RCU read lock to be held. This
also allows OVS mutex to be held without causing warnings.
