[PATCH] netfilter: nf_log: clear per-net loggers on unregister

Logger backends unregister their per-network namespace operations before
unregistering their global logger. This leaves a window where a sysctl or
netlink writer can rebind a per-net logger after the old per-net
selection was cleared, but before the global logger registration is
removed.

The race looks like this:

  CPU 0                                 CPU 1
  ----                                  ----
  unregister_pernet_subsys()
    nf_log_unset(net, logger)
      net->nf.nf_loggers[pf] = NULL

                                        lock nf_log_mutex
                                        find logger in loggers[][]
                                        net->nf.nf_loggers[pf] = logger
                                        unlock nf_log_mutex

  nf_log_unregister(logger)
    lock nf_log_mutex
    loggers[pf][type] = NULL
    unlock nf_log_mutex
    synchronize_rcu()
  module exit returns
  module core frees backend memory

Later, a sysctl read or nf_log_packet() reads net->nf.nf_loggers[pf]
and dereferences the stale logger.

nf_log_unregister() only removes the backend from the global logger
table. It does not clear matching net->nf.nf_loggers[] entries that were
rebound by CPU 1 after per-net teardown. Once module unload completes,
those per-net pointers can still reference static data from the unloaded
logger backend, and later readers can dereference freed module memory.

The kernel reported:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffbfff806d2f4
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
  #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
  Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI
  RIP: 0010:nf_log_proc_dostring+0x2aa/0x4d0
  Call Trace:
   proc_sys_call_handler+0x325/0x540
   vfs_read+0x6e1/0xa20
   ksys_read+0xf7/0x1c0
   do_syscall_64+0xf9/0x520
  Modules linked in: [last unloaded: nf_log_syslog]

Fix this by clearing matching per-net logger selections in every live
network namespace while holding nf_log_mutex after removing the global
registrations. Writers that run before this pass are covered by the
per-net clears, and writes that run later can no longer find the logger
in loggers[][]. The existing synchronize_rcu() then covers readers of
both the global and per-net pointers before module memory is released.
