Xin Long f31e5f1a89 netfilter: unlock xt_table earlier in __do_replace
Now it's doing cleanup_entry for oldinfo under the xt_table lock,
but it's not really necessary. After the replacement job is done
in xt_replace_table, oldinfo is not used elsewhere any more, and
it can be freed without xt_table lock safely.

The important thing is that rtnl_lock is called in some xt_target
destroy, which means rtnl_lock, a big lock is used in xt_table
lock, a smaller one. It usually could be the reason why a dead
lock may happen.

Besides, all xt_target/match checkentry is called out of xt_table
lock. It's better also to move all cleanup_entry calling out of
xt_table lock, just as do_replace_finish does for ebtables.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
