netfilter: Remove duplicated rcu_read_lock.

This patch removes duplicate rcu_read_lock().

1. IPVS part:

According to Julian Anastasov's mention, contexts of ipvs are described
at: http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=149562884514072&w=2, in summary:

 - packet RX/TX: does not need locks because packets come from hooks.
 - sync msg RX: backup server uses RCU locks while registering new
   connections.
 - ip_vs_ctl.c: configuration get/set, RCU locks needed.
 - xt_ipvs.c: It is a netfilter match, running from hook context.

As result, rcu_read_lock and rcu_read_unlock can be removed from:

 - ip_vs_core.c: all
 - ip_vs_ctl.c:
   - only from ip_vs_has_real_service
 - ip_vs_ftp.c: all
 - ip_vs_proto_sctp.c: all
 - ip_vs_proto_tcp.c: all
 - ip_vs_proto_udp.c: all
 - ip_vs_xmit.c: all (contains only packet processing)

2. Netfilter part:

There are three types of functions that are guaranteed the rcu_read_lock().
First, as result, functions are only called by nf_hook():

 - nf_conntrack_broadcast_help(), pptp_expectfn(), set_expected_rtp_rtcp().
 - tcpmss_reverse_mtu(), tproxy_laddr4(), tproxy_laddr6().
 - match_lookup_rt6(), check_hlist(), hashlimit_mt_common().
 - xt_osf_match_packet().

Second, functions that caller already held the rcu_read_lock().
 - destroy_conntrack(), ctnetlink_conntrack_event().
 - ctnl_timeout_find_get(), nfqnl_nf_hook_drop().

Third, functions that are mixed with type1 and type2.

These functions are called by nf_hook() also these are called by
ordinary functions that already held the rcu_read_lock():

 - __ctnetlink_glue_build(), ctnetlink_expect_event().
 - ctnetlink_proto_size().

Applied files are below:

- nf_conntrack_broadcast.c, nf_conntrack_core.c, nf_conntrack_netlink.c.
- nf_conntrack_pptp.c, nf_conntrack_sip.c, nfnetlink_cttimeout.c.
- nfnetlink_queue.c, xt_TCPMSS.c, xt_TPROXY.c, xt_addrtype.c.
- xt_connlimit.c, xt_hashlimit.c, xt_osf.c
