From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 767d1216bff82507c945e92fe719dff2083bb2f4 ] Although hooks are released via call_rcu(), chain and rule objects are immediately released while packets are still walking over these bits. This patch adds the .pre_exit callback which is invoked before synchronize_rcu() in the netns framework to stay safe. Remove a comment which is not valid anymore since the core does not use synchronize_net() anymore since 8c873e219970 ("netfilter: core: free hooks with call_rcu").
