Pablo Neira Ayuso 767d1216bf netfilter: nftables: fix possible UAF over chains from packet path in netns
Although hooks are released via call_rcu(), chain and rule objects are
immediately released while packets are still walking over these bits.

This patch adds the .pre_exit callback which is invoked before
synchronize_rcu() in the netns framework to stay safe.

Remove a comment which is not valid anymore since the core does not use
synchronize_net() anymore since 8c873e2199 ("netfilter: core: free
hooks with call_rcu").

README

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.
