netfilter: nf_tables: avoid false-postive lockdep splat
There are reports wrt lockdep splat in nftables, e.g.:
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 31416 at net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:622
lockdep_nfnl_nft_mutex_not_held+0x28/0x38 [nf_tables]
...
These are caused by an earlier, unrelated bug such as a n ABBA deadlock
in a different subsystem.
In such an event, lockdep is disabled and lockdep_is_held returns true
unconditionally. This then causes the WARN() in nf_tables.
Make the WARN conditional on lockdep still active to avoid this.
Fixes: f102d66b335a417 ("netfilter: nf_tables: use dedicated mutex to guard transactions")
