Florian Westphal 981af60dd6 netfilter: nf_tables: must hold rcu read lock while iterating expression type list
[ Upstream commit ee666a541ed957937454d50afa4757924508cd74 ]

nft shell tests trigger:
 WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
 net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:3125 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
 1 lock held by nft/2068:
  #0: ffff888106c6f8c8 (&nft_net->commit_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: nf_tables_valid_genid+0x3c/0xf0

But the transaction mutex doesn't protect this list, the nfnl subsystem
mutex would, but we can't acquire it here without risk of ABBA
deadlocks.

Acquire the rcu read lock to avoid this issue.

v3: add a comment that explains the ->inner_ops check implies
expression is builtin and lack of a module owner reference is ok.

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.

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.
