commit ec7470b834fe7b5d7eff11b6677f5d7fdf5e9a91 upstream.
This patch fixes a WARN_ON in nft_set_destroy() due to missing set reference count drop from the preparation phase. This is triggered by the module autoload path. Do not exercise the abort path from nft_request_module() while preparation phase cleaning up is still pending.
