list_for_each_entry_rcu() has built-in RCU and lock checking.

Pass cond argument to list_for_each_entry_rcu() to silence
false lockdep warning when CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST is enabled
by default.

Thanks.

However, there is a callpath where not devlink lock neither rcu read is
taken:
devlink_dpipe_table_register()->devlink_dpipe_table_find()

I guess that was not the trace you were seeing, right?
