Problem is that the notifier does a conditional flush, but its possible
that the table-to-be-removed is still referenced by transactions being
processed by the worker, so we need to flush unconditionally.
We could make the flush_work depend on whether we found a table to delete
in nf-next to avoid the flush for most cases.
AFAICS this problem is only exposed in nf-next, with
commit e169285f8c56 ("netfilter: nf_tables: do not store nft_ctx in transaction objects"),
with this commit applied there is an unconditional fetch of
table->family which is whats triggering the above splat.
Fixes: 2c9f0293280e ("netfilter: nf_tables: flush pending destroy work before netlink notifier")
