[PATCH nf] netfilter: nf_tables: fix null deref due to zeroed list head

[Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>]

In nf_tables_updtable, if nf_tables_table_enable returns an error,
nft_trans_destroy is called to free the transaction object.

nft_trans_destroy() calls list_del(), but the transaction was never
placed on a list -- the list head is all zeroes, this results in
a null dereference:

BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in nft_trans_destroy+0x26/0x59
Call Trace:
 nft_trans_destroy+0x26/0x59
 nf_tables_newtable+0x4bc/0x9bc
 [..]

Its sane to assume that nft_trans_destroy() can be called
on the transaction object returned by nft_trans_alloc(), so
make sure the list head is initialised.
