6.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ilya Maximets <[email protected]>

commit a58a2b0ce354df531ebc71fc870058c2feb59f6b upstream.

While attaching a newly created meter attach_meter() function makes
the new meter visible to other CPUs but can still fail afterwards.
On failure, it detaches the meter back and returns an error.

However, this is an unexpected behavior for the ovs_meter_cmd_set()
that uses a plain kfree(meter) on attach failure without waiting for
RCU readers to stop using it, assuming it was never visible.

This is never a problem for ovs-vswitchd as it always creates meters
before creating any flows that use them.  But the UAF can be triggered
with a custom application using uAPI:

  ...
  netlink_sendmsg (af_netlink.c:1900)

Fix that by making sure attach_meter() doesn't make the meter visible
until all the checks are done and the function can't fail anymore.

This also makes sure the "hash" value is calculated after the potential
re-sizing of the table.

Reported by Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative as ZDI-CAN-31642.
