Florian Westphal a499b03bf3 netfilter: nf_tables: unlink table before deleting it
syzbot reports following UAF:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in memcmp+0x18f/0x1c0 lib/string.c:955
 nla_strcmp+0xf2/0x130 lib/nlattr.c:836
 nft_table_lookup.part.0+0x1a2/0x460 net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:570
 nft_table_lookup net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:4064 [inline]

 nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x659/0x13f0 net/netfilter/nfnetlink.c:285
 netlink_rcv_skb+0x153/0x420 net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2504

Problem is that all get operations are lockless, so the commit_mutex
held by nft_rcv_nl_event() isn't enough to stop a parallel GET request
from doing read-accesses to the table object even after synchronize_rcu().

To avoid this, unlink the table first and store the table objects in
on-stack scratch space.

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.
