Subject: [PATCH net] rhashtable: fix sparse RCU warnings on bit lock in bucket pointer

Since the bit_spin_lock() operations don't actually dereference
the pointer, it's fine to forcefully drop the RCU annotation.
This fixes 7 sparse warnings per include site.

Fixes: 8f0db018006a ("rhashtable: use bit_spin_locks to protect hash bucket.")
