nft shell tests trigger:
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:3125 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!
1 lock held by nft/2068:
#0: ffff888106c6f8c8 (&nft_net->commit_mutex){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: nf_tables_valid_genid+0x3c/0xf0
But the transaction mutex doesn't protect this list, the nfnl subsystem
mutex would, but we can't acquire it here without risk of ABBA
deadlocks.
Acquire the rcu read lock and also reject any types that reside in
modules, we'd need to extend this to hold a module reference.
Fixes: 3a07327d10a0 ("netfilter: nft_inner: support for inner tunnel header matching")
