[PATCH nf] netfilter: conntrack: serialize hash resizes and cleanups

From: Eric Dumazet <hidden>

Syzbot was able to trigger the following warning [1]

No repro found by syzbot yet but I was able to trigger similar issue
by having 2 scripts running in parallel, changing conntrack hash sizes,
and:

for j in `seq 1 1000` ; do unshare -n /bin/true >/dev/null ; done

It would take more than 5 minutes for net_namespace structures
to be cleaned up.

This is because nf_ct_iterate_cleanup() has to restart everytime
a resize happened.

By adding a mutex, we can serialize hash resizes and cleanups
and also make get_next_corpse() faster by skipping over empty
buckets.

Even without resizes in the picture, this patch considerably
speeds up network namespace dismantles.

LGTM, thanks Eric.

I have been working on patches to make hash table pernet again,
but they will take a bit more time to finish and are not suited for -net.
