Thanks for the fix, the warning has been annoying me as well!

please provide a fuller stack trace, it would have helped the review

This is a strange condition, IMHO. How can we be fine with either
lock.. This is supposed to be the writer side lock, one can't have
two writer side locks..

I think what is happening is this:

ipmr_net_init() -> ipmr_rules_init() -> ipmr_new_table()

ipmr_new_table() returns an existing table if there is one, but
obviously none can exist at init. So a better fix would be:

#define ipmr_for_each_table(mrt, net) \
list_for_each_entry_rcu(mrt, &net->ipv4.mr_tables, list, \
lockdep_rtnl_is_held() || \
list_empty(&net->ipv4.mr_tables))

Thoughts?
