Subject: [PATCH net-next] tcp_metrics: fix wrong lockdep annotations

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

Changes in tcp_metric hash table are protected by tcp_metrics_lock
only, not by genl_mutex

Reported-by: Andrew Vagin <avagin@...allels.com>
Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>
Fixes: 098a697b497e ("tcp_metrics: Use a single hash table for all network namespaces.")
