Subject: [PATCH 9/9] netfilter: nf_tables: add missing ->release_ops() in error path of newrule()

From: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@...il.com>

->release_ops() callback releases resources and this is used in error path.
If nf_tables_newrule() fails after ->select_ops(), it should release
resources. but it can not call ->destroy() because that should be called
after ->init().
At this point, ->release_ops() should be used for releasing resources.

Test commands:
   modprobe -rv xt_tcpudp
   iptables-nft -I INPUT -m tcp   <-- error command
   lsmod

Result:
   Module                  Size  Used by
   xt_tcpudp              20480  2      <-- it should be 0

Fixes: b8e204006340 ("netfilter: nft_compat: use .release_ops and remove list of extension")
