[PATCH 3/4] netfilter: sync with packet rx also after removing queue entries

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

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
