rcu: Prevent RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN() from swallowing the condition

Browse source 
We run into a unused variable warning in bridge code when variable is
only used inside the condition of rcu_dereference_protected().

 #define mlock_dereference(X, br) \
	rcu_dereference_protected(X, lockdep_is_held(&br->multicast_lock))

Since on builds with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=n rcu_dereference_protected()
compiles to nothing the compiler doesn't see the variable use.

This commit therefore prevents this warning by adding the condition as
dead code.
