As the loggers are only registered statically by kernel modules,
I think this check is overkill. Just add them and let it crash
if someone does two registrations of the same logger, it won't
take long to notice. Similar for unregistration, its not worth
the trouble to check whether its actually registered, especially
since the list deletion doesn't even need to know. Just NULL
out the affected nf_loggers pointers and it should be fine.

Sorry for not saying this earlier.
