netfilter: remove invalid rcu_dereference() calls

The CONFIG_PROVE_RCU option discovered a few invalid uses of
rcu_dereference() in netfilter. In all these cases, the code code
intends to check whether a pointer is already assigned when
performing registration or whether the assigned pointer matches
when performing unregistration. The entire registration/
unregistration is protected by a mutex, so we don't need the
rcu_dereference() calls.
