[nftables 2/9] netfilter: nf_tables: fix chain after rule deletion

[pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Rules are released via RCU and they may take longer to be released
than the chain. Since the chain refcounter is decremented by the
rcu callback, we may hit -EBUSY while deleting a chain since the
chain is released faster than the rule.

Make sure the chain is released after the rule by forcing that
the chain is released after all rules that reference it.
