[PATCH nf,v2 1/4] netfilter: nf_tables: release batch on table validation from abort path

[Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Unlike early commit path stage which triggers a call to abort, an
explicit release of the batch is required on abort, otherwise mutex is
released and commit_list remains in place.

Add WARN_ON_ONCE to ensure commit_list is empty from the abort path
before releasing the mutex.

After this patch, commit_list is always assumed to be empty before
grabbing the mutex, therefore

  03c1f1ef1584 ("netfilter: Cleanup nft_net->module_list from nf_tables_exit_net()")

only needs to release the pending modules for registration.
