netfilter: nf_tables: Fix potential data-race in __nft_expr_type_get()
[ Upstream commit f969eb84ce482331a991079ab7a5c4dc3b7f89bf ]
nft_unregister_expr() can concurrent with __nft_expr_type_get(),
and there is not any protection when iterate over nf_tables_expressions
list in __nft_expr_type_get(). Therefore, there is potential data-race
of nf_tables_expressions list entry.
Use list_for_each_entry_rcu() to iterate over nf_tables_expressions
list in __nft_expr_type_get(), and use rcu_read_lock() in the caller
nft_expr_type_get() to protect the entire type query process.
