Subject: [PATCH 03/16] netfilter: nf_nat: remove obsolete rcu_read_unlock call

From: Ulrich Weber <ulrich.weber@...hos.com>

hlist walk in find_appropriate_src() is not protected anymore by rcu_read_lock(),
so rcu_read_unlock() is unnecessary if in_range() matches.

This bug was added in (c7232c9 netfilter: add protocol independent NAT core).
