Florian Westphal f7fcc98dfc netfilter: nf_conncount: split gc in two phases
The lockless workqueue garbage collector can race with packet path
garbage collector to delete list nodes, as it calls tree_nodes_free()
with the addresses of nodes that might have been free'd already from
another cpu.

To fix this, split gc into two phases.

One phase to perform gc on the connections: From a locking perspective,
this is the same as count_tree(): we hold rcu lock, but we do not
change the tree, we only change the nodes' contents.

The second phase acquires the tree lock and reaps empty nodes.
This avoids a race condition of the garbage collection vs.  packet path:
If a node has been free'd already, the second phase won't find it anymore.

This second phase is, from locking perspective, same as insert_tree().

The former only modifies nodes (list content, count), latter modifies
the tree itself (rb_erase or rb_insert).

Fixes: 5c789e131c ("netfilter: nf_conncount: Add list lock and gc worker, and RCU for init tree search")
