I think we're protected here by the try_module_get() on the enable path.
And we only disable defrag if enabling succeeds. The module shouldn't
be able to deregister its hooks until we call the module_put() later.
I think READ_ONCE() would've been more appropriate but I wasn't sure if
that was ok given nf_defrag_v(4|6)_hook is written to by
rcu_assign_pointer() and I was assuming symmetry is necessary.
Does that sound right?
Thanks,
Daniel
