netfilter: nftables: fix possible UAF over chains from packet path in netns



Although hooks are released via call_rcu(), chain and rule objects are
immediately released while packets are still walking over these bits.

This patch adds the .pre_exit callback which is invoked before
synchronize_rcu() in the netns framework to stay safe.

Remove a comment which is not valid anymore since the core does not use
synchronize_net() anymore since 8c873e21 ("netfilter: core: free
hooks with call_rcu").
