syz-executor243/7361 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&table[i].mutex){+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8540bc24>] nfnl_lock+0x24/0x30 net/netfilter/nfnetlink.c:61

but task is already holding lock:
 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff85239119>] rtnl_lock net/core/rtnetlink.c:72 [inline]
 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff85239119>] rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x339/0xb70 net/core/rtnetlink.c:4301

which lock already depends on the new lock.

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &table[i].mutex --> &xt[i].mutex --> rtnl_mutex

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
