netfilter: nf_tables: Fix potential data-race in __nft_obj_type_get()

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2067959

[ Upstream commit d78d867 ]

nft_unregister_obj() can concurrent with __nft_obj_type_get(),
and there is not any protection when iterate over nf_tables_objects
list in __nft_obj_type_get(). Therefore, there is potential data-race
of nf_tables_objects list entry.

Use list_for_each_entry_rcu() to iterate over nf_tables_objects
list in __nft_obj_type_get(), and use rcu_read_lock() in the caller
nft_obj_type_get() to protect the entire type query process.
