netfilter: ipset: Add list flush to cancel_gc
[ Upstream commit c1193d9bbbd379defe9be3c6de566de684de8a6f ]
Flushing list in cancel_gc drops references to other lists right away,
without waiting for RCU to destroy list. Fixes race when referenced
ipsets can't be destroyed while referring list is scheduled for destroy.
