Maybe I missed something. I think softirq may be still enabled here.
So what happen when xt_info_rdlock_bh() called recursively here?

Is this OK for you:

void xt_info_rdlock_bh(void)
{
	struct xt_info_lock *lock;

	local_bh_disable();
	lock = &__get_cpu_var(xt_info_locks);
	if (likely(++lock->depth == 0))
		spin_lock(&lock->lock);
}
