conn_free() holds lock with spin_lock(). and it is called by both
nf_conncount_lookup() and nf_conncount_gc_list().
nf_conncount_lookup() is bottom-half context and nf_conncount_gc_list()
is process context. so that spin_lock() is not safe.
Hence conn_free() should use spin_lock_bh() instead of spin_lock().
test commands:
%nft add table ip filter
%nft add chain ip filter input { type filter hook input priority 0\; }
%nft add rule filter input meter test { ip saddr ct count over 2 } \
counter
