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.
