commit 05907f10e235680cc7fb196810e4ad3215d5e648 upstream.
This patch fixes a race condition.
nft_rhash_update() might fail for two reasons:
- Element already exists in the hashtable.
- Another packet won race to insert an entry in the hashtable.
In both cases, new() has already bumped the counter via atomic_add_unless(),
therefore, decrement the set element counter.

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.
