sybot came up with following transaction:
add table ip syz0
add chain ip syz0 syz2 { type nat hook prerouting priority 0; policy accept; }
add table ip syz0 { flags dormant; }
delete chain ip syz0 syz2
delete table ip syz0
which yields:
hook not found, pf 2 num 0

Problem is that when I added ability to override base hook registration
to make nat basechains register with the nat core instead of netfilter
core, I forgot to update nft_table_disable() to use that instead of
the 'raw' hook register interface.
In syzbot transaction, the basechain is of 'nat' type. Its registered
with the nat core. The switch to 'dormant mode' attempts to delete from
netfilter core instead.
After updating nft_table_disable/enable to use the correct helper,
nft_(un)register_basechain_hooks can be folded into the only remaining
caller.
Because nft_trans_table_enable() won't do anything when the DORMANT flag
is set, remove the flag first, then re-add it in case re-enablement
fails, else this patch breaks sequence:
add table ip x { flags dormant; }
/* add base chains */
add table ip x
The last 'add' will remove the dormant flags, but won't have any other
effect -- base chains are not registered.
Then, next 'set dormant flag' will create another 'hook not found'
splat.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
