6.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit f86fb94011aeb3b26337fc22204ca726aeb8bc24 upstream. nf_tables_abort_release() path calls nft_set_elem_destroy() for NFT_MSG_NEWSETELEM which releases the element, however, a reference to the element still remains in the working copy.
