    netfilter: ipset: Fix race between IPSET_CMD_CREATE and IPSET_CMD_SWAP
    
    [ Upstream commit 7433b6d2afd512d04398c73aa984d1e285be125b ]
    
    Kyle Zeng reported that there is a race between IPSET_CMD_ADD and IPSET_CMD_SWAP
    in netfilter/ip_set, which can lead to the invocation of `__ip_set_put` on a
    wrong `set`, triggering the `BUG_ON(set->ref == 0);` check in it.
    
    The race is caused by using the wrong reference counter, i.e. the ref counter instead
    of ref_netlink.
