Subject: [PATCH 03/14] netfilter: nf_tables: fix race when create new element in dynset

From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@...il.com>

Packets may race when create the new element in nft_hash_update:
       CPU0                 CPU1
  lookup_fast - fail     lookup_fast - fail
       new - ok             new - ok
     insert - ok         insert - fail(EEXIST)

So when race happened, we reuse the existing element. Otherwise,
these *racing* packets will not be handled properly.

Fixes: 22fe54d5fefc ("netfilter: nf_tables: add support for dynamic set updates")
