[ 18/73] netfilter: nf_nat: fix race when unloading protocol modules

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx>

commit c2d421e171868586939c328dfb91bab840fe4c49 upstream.

following oops was reported:
RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa03227f2>] [<ffffffffa03227f2>] nf_nat_cleanup_conntrack+0x42/0x70 [nf_nat]

[<ffffffffa02febed>] destroy_conntrack+0xbd/0x110 [nf_conntrack]

Happens when a conntrack timeout expires right after first part
of the nat cleanup has completed (bysrc hash removal), but before
part 2 has completed (re-initialization of nat area).

[ destroy callback tries to delete bysrc again ]

Patrick suggested to just remove the affected conntracks -- the
connections won't work properly anyway without nat transformation.

So, lets do that.
