commit 1689f25924ada8fe14a4a82c38925d04994c7142 upstream.
Overflow use refcount checks are not complete.
Add helper function to deal with object reference counter tracking.
Report -EMFILE in case UINT_MAX is reached.
nft_use_dec() splats in case that reference counter underflows,
which should not ever happen.
Add nft_use_inc_restore() and nft_use_dec_restore() which are used
to restore reference counter from error and abort paths.
Use u32 in nft_flowtable and nft_object since helper functions cannot
work on bitfields.
Remove the few early incomplete checks now that the helper functions
are in place and used to check for refcount overflow.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
