4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit 29e3880109e357fdc607b4393f8308cef6af9413 ] nft_compat ops do not have static storage duration, unlike all other expressions. When nf_tables_expr_destroy() returns, expr->ops might have been free'd already, so we need to store next address before calling expression destructor. For same reason, we can't deref match pointer after nft_xt_put(). This can be easily reproduced by adding msleep() before nft_match_destroy() returns.
