Subject: [PATCH 4.2 127/258] netfilter: nf_log: dont zap all loggers on unregister

4.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

commit 205ee117d4dc4a11ac3bd9638bb9b2e839f4de9a upstream.

like nf_log_unset, nf_log_unregister must not reset the list of loggers.
Otherwise, a call to nf_log_unregister() will render loggers of other nf
protocols unusable:

iptables -A INPUT -j LOG
modprobe nf_log_arp ; rmmod nf_log_arp
iptables -A INPUT -j LOG
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

Fixes: 30e0c6a6be ("netfilter: nf_log: prepare net namespace support for loggers")
