[PATCH tip/core/rcu 7/7] net,rcu: convert call_rcu(xt_rateest_free_rcu) to kfree_rcu()

[Paul E. McKenney]

The RCU callback xt_rateest_free_rcu() just calls kfree(), so we can
use kfree_rcu() instead of call_rcu().  This also allows us to dispense
with an rcu_barrier() call, speeding up unloading of this module.
