In dn_rt_cache_get_next(), no need to guard seq->private by a
rcu_dereference() since seq is private to the thread running this
function. Reading seq.private once (as guaranted bu rcu_dereference())
or several time if compiler really is dumb enough wont change the
result.

But we miss real spots where rcu_dereference() are needed, both in
dn_rt_cache_get_first() and dn_rt_cache_get_next()
