[PATCH 5.10 115/122] netfilter: nf_tables: set dormant flag on hook register failure

5.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

[ Upstream commit bccebf64701735533c8db37773eeacc6566cc8ec ]

We need to set the dormant flag again if we fail to register
the hooks.

During memory pressure hook registration can fail and we end up
with a table marked as active but no registered hooks.

On table/base chain deletion, nf_tables will attempt to unregister
the hook again which yields a warn splat from the nftables core.
