netfilter: nf_nat: fix oops on netns removal
Subsystems (2)
Hi,
Please include commit 945b2b2d259d1a4364a2799e80e8ff32f8c6ee6f in the netdev stable queue and any other appropriate stable trees. This fixes a race condition that can be triggered when cleaning up LXC containers that use NAT/netns. The patch has already received positive testing when backported to 3.13.y.
The patch cleanly cherry-picks from 3.10.y to 3.15.y.

modules')
This also potentially affects v3.9.y and other stable trees such as v3.8.y that have backported the above patch; however it is not a clean cherry-pick for those versions. I'll work on a patch in this case and send a separate email.
