CVE-2021-47408

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: conntrack: serialize hash resizes and cleanups

Syzbot was able to trigger the following warning [1]

No repro found by syzbot yet but I was able to trigger similar issue
by having 2 scripts running in parallel, changing conntrack hash sizes,
and:

for j in `seq 1 1000` ; do unshare -n /bin/true >/dev/null ; done

It would take more than 5 minutes for net_namespace structures
to be cleaned up.

This is because nf_ct_iterate_cleanup() has to restart everytime
a resize happened.

By adding a mutex, we can serialize hash resizes and cleanups
and also make get_next_corpse() faster by skipping over empty
buckets.

Even without resizes in the picture, this patch considerably
speeds up network namespace dismantles.
