[PATCH 5.15.y 5/5] netfilter: cttimeout: prevent UAF during module unload

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Chengfeng Ye <nicoyip.dev@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit fec9b1de0d02de8dafa3cc344bcb91cf28660643 ]

nf_ct_set_timeout() protects the timeout hook dereference and policy lookup
with rcu_read_lock(). cttimeout_exit(), however, unregisters the per-net
operations before it clears the hook.

This allows the following interleaving:

  CPU 0                              CPU 1
  cttimeout_exit()                   nf_ct_set_timeout()
    unregister_pernet_subsys()         rcu_read_lock()
      kfree(pernet)                     h = nf_ct_timeout_hook
                                        h->timeout_find_get()
                                          nfct_timeout_pernet()

The hook still points to ctnl_timeout_find_get() when CPU 1 looks up the
already freed per-net timeout list. KASAN reported:

   cttimeout_exit+0x52/0x970 [nfnetlink_cttimeout]

Clear the hook and wait for existing readers before unregistering the
per-net operations. This blocks new policy lookups and ensures readers that
observed the hook finish before the per-net storage is freed.
