    ms/netfilter: nf_tables: fix use-after-free when deleting compat expressions
    
    nft_compat ops do not have static storage duration, unlike all other
    expressions.
    
    When nf_tables_expr_destroy() returns, expr->ops might have been
    free'd already, so we need to store next address before calling
    expression destructor.
    
    For same reason, we can't deref match pointer after nft_xt_put().
    
    This can be easily reproduced by adding msleep() before
    nft_match_destroy() returns.
