netfilter: nf_tables: avoid false-postive lockdep splat
There are reports wrt lockdep splat in nftables, e.g.: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 31416 at net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:622 lockdep_nfnl_nft_mutex_not_held+0x28/0x38 [nf_tables] ... These are caused by an earlier, unrelated bug such as a n ABBA deadlock in a different subsystem. In such an event, lockdep is disabled and lockdep_is_held returns true unconditionally. This then causes the WARN() in nf_tables. Make the WARN conditional on lockdep still active to avoid this.
