netfilter: nf_tables: fix suspicious RCU usage in nft_chain_stats_replace()
basechain->stats is rcu protected data which is updated from
nft_chain_stats_replace(). This function is executed from the commit
phase which holds the pernet nf_tables commit mutex - not the global
nfnetlink subsystem mutex.
Test commands to reproduce the problem are:
%iptables-nft -I INPUT
%iptables-nft -Z
%iptables-nft -Z
This patch uses RCU calls to handle basechain->stats updates to fix a
splat that looks like:
