In nf_tables_exit_net(), there is a case where nft_net->commit_list is
empty but nft_net->module_list is not empty. Such a case occurs with
the following scenario:

1. nfnetlink_rcv_batch() is called
2. nf_tables_newset() returns -EAGAIN and NFNL_BATCH_FAILURE bit is
set to status
3. nf_tables_abort() is called with NFNL_ABORT_AUTOLOAD
(nft_net->commit_list is released, but nft_net->module_list is not
because of NFNL_ABORT_AUTOLOAD flag)
4. Jump to replay label
5. netlink_skb_clone() fails and returns from the function (this is
caused by fault injection in the reproducer of syzbot)

This patch fixes this issue by calling __nf_tables_abort() when
nft_net->module_list is not empty in nf_tables_exit_net().
