Subject: [PATCH net 1/5] netfilter: nf_tables: set dormant flag on hook register failure

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

We need to set the dormant flag again if we fail to register
the hooks.

During memory pressure hook registration can fail and we end up
with a table marked as active but no registered hooks.

On table/base chain deletion, nf_tables will attempt to unregister
the hook again which yields a warn splat from the nftables core.
