other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  nfnl_subsys_ipset --> nlk_cb_mutex-NETFILTER --> &nft_net->commit_mutex

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&nft_net->commit_mutex);
                               lock(nlk_cb_mutex-NETFILTER);
                               lock(&nft_net->commit_mutex);
  lock(nfnl_subsys_ipset);
