    netfilter: nf_tables: fix GC transaction races with netns and netlink event exit path
    
    commit 6a33d8b73dfac0a41f3877894b38082bd0c9a5bc upstream.
    
    Netlink event path is missing a synchronization point with GC
    transactions. Add GC sequence number update to netns release path and
    netlink event path, any GC transaction losing race will be discarded.
