Accessing `mr_table->mfc_cache_list` is protected by an RCU lock. In the
following code flow, the RCU read lock is not held, causing the
following error when `RCU_PROVE` is not held. The same problem might
show up in the IPv6 code path.

This is not a problem per see, since the RTNL lock is held here, so, it
is safe to iterate in the list without the RCU read lock, as suggested
by Eric.
To alleviate the concern, modify the code to use
list_for_each_entry_rcu() with the RTNL-held argument.
The annotation will raise an error only if RTNL or RCU read lock are
missing during iteration, signaling a legitimate problem, otherwise it
will avoid this false positive.
This will solve the IPv6 case as well, since ip6mr_rtm_dumproute() calls
this function as well.
