I still do not see how this is a false positive. Per-cpu locks do not solve the issue.
Please tell me what prevents an interrupt going off after we grab the xt_info_wrlock(cpu) in get_counters().
IOW, what prevents this:
get_counters() { xt_info_wrlock(cpu); <interrupt> --> softirq
xt_info_rblock_bh(); /* which grabs the writer lock */ DEADLOCK!!
