Subject: [PATCH net 6/9] netfilter: x_tables: gpf inside xt_find_revision()

From: Vasily Averin <vvs@...tuozzo.com>

nested target/match_revfn() calls work with xt[NFPROTO_UNSPEC] lists
without taking xt[NFPROTO_UNSPEC].mutex. This can race with module unload
and cause host to crash:

general protection fault: 0000 [#1]
Modules linked in: ... [last unloaded: xt_cluster]
