[PATCH 5.4 06/43] act_ife: load meta modules before tcf_idr_check_alloc()

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

From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit cc8e58f8325cdf14b9516b61c384cdfd02a4f408 ]

The following deadlock scenario is triggered by syzbot:

Thread A:				Thread B:
tcf_idr_check_alloc()
...
populate_metalist()
  rtnl_unlock()
					rtnl_lock()
					...
  request_module()			tcf_idr_check_alloc()
  rtnl_lock()

At this point, thread A is waiting for thread B to release RTNL
lock, while thread B is waiting for thread A to commit the IDR
change with tcf_idr_insert() later.

Break this deadlock situation by preloading ife modules earlier,
before tcf_idr_check_alloc(), this is fine because we only need
to load modules we need potentially.
