commit ec7470b834fe7b5d7eff11b6677f5d7fdf5e9a91 upstream. This patch fixes a WARN_ON in nft_set_destroy() due to missing set reference count drop from the preparation phase. This is triggered by the module autoload path. Do not exercise the abort path from nft_request_module() while preparation phase cleaning up is still pending.

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.
