CVE-2022-48912 netfilter: fix use-after-free in __nf_register_net_hook()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: fix use-after-free in __nf_register_net_hook()

We must not dereference @new_hooks after nf_hook_mutex has been released,
because other threads might have freed our allocated hooks already.
