[ Upstream commit 4a02426787bf024dafdb79b362285ee325de3f5e ] The xtables packet traverser performs an unconditional local_bh_disable(), but the nf_tables evaluation loop does not. Functions that are called from either xtables or nftables must assume that they can be called in process context. inet_twsk_deschedule_put() assumes that no softirq interrupt can occur. If tproxy is used from nf_tables its possible that we'll deadlock trying to aquire a lock already held in process context. Add a small helper that takes care of this and use it.

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.
