Fix sel_netnode_insert suspicious rcu dereference.

[Dave Jones]

I reported this a year ago (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/20/308).
It's still a problem apparently ...

===============================
[ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
3.5.0-rc1+ #63 Not tainted
-------------------------------
security/selinux/netnode.c:178 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!

other info that might help us debug this:


rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
1 lock held by trinity-child1/8750:
 #0:  (sel_netnode_lock){+.....}, at: [<ffffffff812d8f8a>] sel_netnode_sid+0x16a/0x3e0

stack backtrace:

This patch below does what Paul McKenney suggested in the previous thread.
