Subject: [080/105] netfilter: xtables: fix reentrancy

2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@...il.com>

commit db856674ac69e31946e56085239757cca3f7655f upstream.

commit f3c5c1bfd4308 (make ip_tables reentrant) introduced a race in
handling the stackptr restore, at the end of ipt_do_table()

We should do it before the call to xt_info_rdunlock_bh(), or we allow
cpu preemption and another cpu overwrites stackptr of original one.

A second fix is to change the underflow test to check the origptr value
instead of 0 to detect underflow, or else we allow a jump from different
hooks.
