Subject: [PATCH net 2/4] netfilter: Fix use-after-free in get_info()

From: Dong Chenchen <dongchenchen2@...wei.com>

ip6table_nat module unload has refcnt warning for UAF. call trace is:

WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 379 at kernel/module/main.c:853 module_put+0x6f/0x80

Concurrent execution of module unload and get_info() trigered the warning.
The root cause is as follows:

cpu0				      cpu1
module_exit
//mod->state = MODULE_STATE_GOING
  ip6table_nat_exit
    xt_unregister_template
	kfree(t)
	//removed from templ_list
				      getinfo()
					  t = xt_find_table_lock
						list_for_each_entry(tmpl, &xt_templates[af]...)
							if (strcmp(tmpl->name, name))
								continue;  //table not found
							try_module_get
						list_for_each_entry(t, &xt_net->tables[af]...)
							return t;  //not get refcnt
					  module_put(t->me) //uaf
    unregister_pernet_subsys
    //remove table from xt_net list

While xt_table module was going away and has been removed from
xt_templates list, we couldnt get refcnt of xt_table->me. Check
module in xt_net->tables list re-traversal to fix it.
