[PATCH net 08/12] netfilter: nfnetlink_log: cope with concurrent instance destruction

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

Instances are refcounted. However, only memory release happens on the
1 -> 0 transition; the unlink from hashes can occur with any refcount.

Uncooperative userspace can force a situation where a queue is pending
for destruction from netlink event while a different socket with same
portid processes an UNBIND request.

With right timing, this will unhash the instance again:

Oops: general protection fault, [..]

 nfnetlink_rcv_msg+0x7c2/0xeb0

Fixes: 0597f2680d66 ("[NETFILTER]: Add new "nfnetlink_log" userspace packet logging facility")
