4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mark Bloch <markb@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 0fd758d6112f867b2cc6df0f6a856048ff99b211 upstream. When adding a new rule to an fte, we need to hold the fte lock until we add that rule to the fte and increase the fte ref count.
