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
2 locks held by iptables/3197:
 #0:  (sk_lock-AF_INET){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8149bd8c>]

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.
