[PATCH nf,v2] netfilter: nf_nat: unregister and release hooks on error

Pablo Neira Ayuso <[email protected]>
Newsgroups gmane.comp.security.firewalls.netfilter.devel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
After the base nat hooks are registered, the first nested nat hook is
added through nf_hook_entries_insert_raw() and ->users is bumped.

However, sashiko reports that nf_hook_entries_insert_raw() fails, then
->users count remains at zero and nf_nat_unregister_fn() could hit
WARN_ON() since base nat hooks with no users is unexpected in the
unregistration path.

Postpone setting nat_proto_net->nat_hook_ops when the hooks are
registered to simplify the error path to decide whether the nat hooks
need unwinding.

Fixes: 1cd472bf036c ("netfilter: nf_nat: add nat hook register functions to nf_nat")

v2: - move common error path handling under goto label
    - postpone setting nat_proto_net->nat_hook_ops to decide what to
      do in the error path.
