syzbot reported a warning like below [1]: WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 9 at net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:10096 nf_tables_exit_net+0x71c/0x840 Modules linked in: CPU: 2 PID: 9 Comm: kworker/u8:0 Tainted: G W 6.1.0-rc3-00072-g8e5423e991e8 #47 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.0-1.fc36 04/01/2014 Workqueue: netns cleanup_net RIP: 0010:nf_tables_exit_net+0x71c/0x840 ...

Such a case occurs with the following scenario: 1. nfnetlink_rcv_batch() is called 2. nf_tables_newset() returns -EAGAIN and NFNL_BATCH_FAILURE bit is set to status 3. nf_tables_abort() is called with NFNL_ABORT_AUTOLOAD (nft_net->commit_list is released, but nft_net->module_list is not because of NFNL_ABORT_AUTOLOAD flag) 4. Jump to replay label 5. netlink_skb_clone() fails and returns from the function (this is caused by fault injection in the reproducer of syzbot) This patch fixes this issue by calling __nf_tables_abort() when nft_net->module_list is not empty in nf_tables_exit_net().
