[ Upstream commit cddc04275f95ca3b18da5c0fb111705ac173af89 ]
Update of stateful object triggers: WARNING: suspicious RCU usage net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:7759 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 2, debug_locks = 1 1 lock held by nft/3060: #0: ffff88810f0578c8 (&nft_net->commit_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, [..]
... but this list is not protected by the transaction mutex but the nfnl nftables subsystem mutex.
Switch to nft_obj_type_get which will acquire rcu read lock, bump refcount, and returns the result.
v3: Dan Carpenter points out nft_obj_type_get returns error pointer, not NULL, on error.
