From: Liping Zhang <liping.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
User can add ct entry via nfnetlink(IPCTNL_MSG_CT_NEW), and if the total
number reach the nf_conntrack_max, we will try to drop some ct entries.
But in this case(the main function call path is ctnetlink_create_conntrack
-> nf_conntrack_alloc -> early_drop), rcu_read_lock is not held, so race
with hash resize will happen.
Fixes: 242922a02717 ("netfilter: conntrack: simplify early_drop")
