Pablo Neira Ayuso 8038ee3c3e netfilter: nf_tables: release mutex after nft_gc_seq_end from abort path
commit 0d459e2ffb541841714839e8228b845458ed3b27 upstream.

The commit mutex should not be released during the critical section
between nft_gc_seq_begin() and nft_gc_seq_end(), otherwise, async GC
worker could collect expired objects and get the released commit lock
within the same GC sequence.

nf_tables_module_autoload() temporarily releases the mutex to load
module dependencies, then it goes back to replay the transaction again.
Move it at the end of the abort phase after nft_gc_seq_end() is called.
