[ Upstream commit 767d1216bff82507c945e92fe719dff2083bb2f4 ]
Although hooks are released via call_rcu(), chain and rule objects are
immediately released while packets are still walking over these bits.
This patch adds the .pre_exit callback which is invoked before
synchronize_rcu() in the netns framework to stay safe.
Remove a comment which is not valid anymore since the core does not use
synchronize_net() anymore since 8c873e219970 ("netfilter: core: free
hooks with call_rcu").

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.
