In order to prevent double deletion of filter by concurrent tasks when rtnl lock is not used for synchronization, add 'deleted' filter field. Check value of this field when modifying filters and return error if concurrent deletion is detected. Refactor __fl_delete() to accept pointer to 'last' boolean as argument, and return error code as function return value instead. This is necessary to signal concurrent filter delete to caller.

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.
