Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: arp_tables: add pre_exit hook for table unregister

Same problem that also existed in iptables/ip(6)tables, when
arptable_filter is removed there is no longer a wait period before the
table/ruleset is free'd.

Unregister the hook in pre_exit, then remove the table in the exit
function.
This used to work correctly because the old nf_hook_unregister API
did unconditional synchronize_net.

The per-net hook unregister function uses call_rcu instead.

Fixes: b9e69e127397 ("netfilter: xtables: don't hook tables by default")
