netfilter: ipset: Fix race between IPSET_CMD_CREATE and IPSET_CMD_SWAP

Kyle Zeng reported that there is a race between IPSET_CMD_ADD and IPSET_CMD_SWAP in netfilter/ip_set, which can lead to the invocation of `__ip_set_put` on a wrong `set`, triggering the `BUG_ON(set->ref == 0);` check in it. The race is caused by using the wrong reference counter, i.e. the ref counter instead of ref_netlink. Fixes: 24e2278 ("netfilter: ipset: Add schedule point in call_ad().")
