Please note that there is another patch submitted ("netfilter: flowtable: Use rw sem
as flow block lock") touching the same block above, replacing mutex_lock. So some
context adjustments will be needed when applying them.

This patch doesn't need to be resubmitted, this is just a note for whoever will be
applying these patches.
