netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: use read spinlock to avoid datapath contention

rbtree GC does not modify the datastructure, instead it collects expired
elements and it enqueues a GC transaction. Use a read spinlock instead
to avoid data contention while GC worker is running.

Fixes: f6c383b8c31a ("netfilter: nf_tables: adapt set backend to use GC transaction API")
