3.19.8-ckt9 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit ad5001cc7cdf9aaee5eb213fdee657e4a3c94776 upstream.
The nf_log_unregister() function needs to call synchronize_rcu() to make sure
that the objects are not dereferenced anymore on module removal.
Fixes: 5962815a6a56 ("netfilter: nf_log: use an array of loggers instead of list")
