Subject: [PATCH 03/15] netfilter: nf_tables: skip synchronize_rcu if transaction log is empty

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

After processing the transaction log, the remaining entries of the log
need to be released.

However, in some cases no entries remain, e.g. because the transaction
did not remove anything.
