Subject: [PATCH] Fix suspicious RCU usage warning

From: Madhuparna Bhowmik <madhuparnabhowmik10@...il.com>

This patch fixes the following warning:

=============================
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
5.7.0-rc4-next-20200507-syzkaller #0 Not tainted
-----------------------------
net/ipv6/ip6mr.c:124 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

ipmr_new_table() returns an existing table, but there is no table at
init. Therefore the condition: either holding rtnl or the list is empty
is used.
