[PATCH nf 1/3] netfilter: nf_tables: fix GC transaction races with netns and netlink event exit path

[Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>]

Netlink event path is missing a synchronization point with GC
transactions. Add GC sequence number update to netns release path and
netlink event path, any GC transaction losing race will be discarded.

Fixes: 5f68718b34a5 ("netfilter: nf_tables: GC transaction API to avoid race with control plane")
