netfilter: sync with packet rx also after removing queue entries
We need to sync packet rx again after flushing the queue entries. Otherwise, the following race could happen: cpu1: nf_unregister_hook(H) called, H unliked from lists, calls synchronize_net() to wait for packet rx completion. Problem is that while no new nf_queue_entry structs that use H can be allocated, another CPU might receive a verdict from userspace just before cpu1 calls nf_queue_nf_hook_drop to remove this entry: cpu2: receive verdict from userspace, lock queue cpu2: unlink nf_queue_entry struct E, which references H, from queue list cpu1: calls nf_queue_nf_hook_drop, blocks on queue spinlock cpu2: unlock queue cpu1: nf_queue_nf_hook_drop drops affected queue entries cpu2: call nf_reinject for E cpu1: kfree(H) cpu2: potential use-after-free for H Cc: Eric W.
