netfilter: nf_tables: fix flowtable list del corruption



syzbot reported following crash:

  list_del corruption, ffff88808c9bb000->prev is LIST_POISON2 (dead000000000122)
  [..]
  Call Trace:
   __list_del_entry include/linux/list.h:131 [inline]
   list_del_rcu include/linux/rculist.h:148 [inline]
   nf_tables_commit+0x1068/0x3b30 net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:7183
   [..]

The commit transaction list has:

NFT_MSG_NEWTABLE
NFT_MSG_NEWFLOWTABLE
NFT_MSG_DELFLOWTABLE
NFT_MSG_DELTABLE

A missing generation check during DELTABLE processing causes it to queue
the DELFLOWTABLE operation a second time, so we corrupt the list here:

  case NFT_MSG_DELFLOWTABLE:
     list_del_rcu(&nft_trans_flowtable(trans)->list);
     nf_tables_flowtable_notify(&trans->ctx,

because we have two different DELFLOWTABLE transactions for the same
flowtable.  We then call list_del_rcu() twice for the same flowtable->list.

The object handling seems to suffer from the same bug so add a generation
check too and only queue delete transactions for flowtables/objects that
are still active in the next generation.
