[PATCH net] openvswitch: Fix refcount leak on force commit.

From: Jarno Rajahalme <hidden>
Date: 2017-03-28 18:33:23
Subsystem: networking [general], openvswitch, the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Aaron Conole, Eelco Chaudron, Ilya Maximets, Linus Torvalds

The reference count held for skb needs to be released when the skb's
nfct pointer is cleared regardless of if nf_ct_delete() is called or
not.

Failing to release the skb's reference cound led to deferred conntrack
cleanup spinning forever within nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list() when
cleaning up a network namespace:

   kworker/u16:0-19025 [004] 45981067.173642: sched_switch: kworker/u16:0:19025 [120] R ==> rcu_preempt:7 [120]
   kworker/u16:0-19025 [004] 45981067.173651: kernel_stack: <stack trace>
=> ___preempt_schedule (ffffffffa001ed36)
