modprobe calls from the nf_logger_find_get() API causes deadlock in very
special cases because they occur with the nf_tables transaction mutex held.
In the specific case of nf_log, deadlock is via:
A nf_tables -> transaction mutex -> nft_log -> modprobe -> nf_log_syslog \
-> pernet_ops rwsem -> wait for C
B netlink event -> rtnl_mutex -> nf_tables transaction mutex -> wait for A
C close() -> ip6mr_sk_done -> rtnl_mutex -> wait for B
Earlier patch added NFLOG/xt_LOG module softdeps to avoid the need to load
the backend module during a transaction.
For nft_log we would have to add a softdep for both nfnetlink_log or
nf_log_syslog, since we do not know in advance which of the two backends
are going to be configured.
This defers the modprobe op until after the transaction mutex is released.
