[ Upstream commit 8837ba3e58ea1e3d09ae36db80b1e80853aada95 ]
list_for_each_entry_safe() does not work for the async case which runs
under RCU, therefore, split GC logic for catchall in two functions
instead, one for each of the sync and async GC variants.
The catchall sync GC variant never sees a _DEAD bit set on ever, thus,
this handling is removed in such case, moreover, allocate GC sync batch
via GFP_KERNEL.
Fixes: 93995bf4af2c ("netfilter: nf_tables: remove catchall element in GC sync path")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
