[PATCH 4.19 172/213] netfilter: nf_tables: GC transaction race with netns dismantle

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

commit 02c6c24402bf1c1e986899c14ba22a10b510916b upstream.

Use maybe_get_net() since GC workqueue might race with netns exit path.

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