netfilter: nf_tables: don't skip inactive chains during update
There is no synchronization between packet path and the configuration plane. The packet path uses two arrays with rules, one contains the current (active) generation. The other either contains the last (obsolete) generation or the future one. Consider: cpu1 cpu2 nft_do_chain(c); delete c net->gen++; genbit = !!net->gen; rules = c->rg[genbit]; cpu1 ignores c when updating if c is not active anymore in the new generation. On cpu2, we now use rules from wrong generation, as c->rg[old] contains the rules matching 'c' whereas c->rg[new] was not updated and can even point to rules that have been free'd already, causing a crash. To fix this, make sure that 'current' to the 'next' generation are identical for chains that are going away so that c->rg[new] will just use the matching rules even if genbit was incremented already.
