Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Disable migration in nf_hook_run_bpf().
syzbot reported that the netfilter bpf prog can be called without
migration disabled in xmit path.
Then the assertion in __bpf_prog_run() fails, triggering the splat
below. [0]
Let's use bpf_prog_run_pin_on_cpu() in nf_hook_run_bpf().
