Cong Wang 056a17982a net_sched: fix a race condition in tcindex_destroy()
[ Upstream commit 8015d93ebd ]

tcindex_destroy() invokes tcindex_destroy_element() via
a walker to delete each filter result in its perfect hash
table, and tcindex_destroy_element() calls tcindex_delete()
which schedules tcf RCU works to do the final deletion work.
Unfortunately this races with the RCU callback
__tcindex_destroy(), which could lead to use-after-free as
reported by Adrian.

Fix this by migrating this RCU callback to tcf RCU work too,
as that workqueue is ordered, we will not have use-after-free.

Note, we don't need to hold netns refcnt because we don't call
tcf_exts_destroy() here.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
