netfilter: nf_conntrack_proto: fix warning with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU
===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_l3proto.h:92 invoked rcu_dereference_check()
without protection!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0

...
The __nf_ct_l3proto_find() call doesn't actually need rcu read side
protection since the caller holds a reference to the protocol. Use
rcu_read_lock() anyways to avoid the warning.
