[PATCH nf,v2] netfilter: nf_tables: mark set as dead when deactivating anonymous set with timeout

[PATCH nf,v2] netfilter: nf_tables: mark set as dead when deactivating anonymous set with timeout

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

While the rhashtable set gc runs asynchronously, a race allows it to
collect elements from anonymous sets while it is being released from the
abort, commit and rule error path.

Mingi Cho originally reported this issue in a different path in 6.1.x
with a pipapo set with low timeouts which is not possible upstream since
7395dfacfff6 ("netfilter: nf_tables: use timestamp to check for set
element timeout").

Fix this by setting on the dead flag for anonymous sets to signal set gc
to skip sets from prepare_error, abort and commit paths.

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