Hello,

syzbot has tested the proposed patch but the reproducer is still triggering an issue:
WARNING: bad unlock balance in nf_tables_abort

=====================================
WARNING: bad unlock balance detected!
6.14.0-rc5-syzkaller-g7eb172143d55-dirty #0 Not tainted
-------------------------------------
syz.0.20/6539 is trying to release lock (&nft_net->commit_mutex) at:

[<ffffffff898b345d>] nf_tables_abort+0x29fd/0x3d60 net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:11254
but there are no more locks to release!

other info that might help us debug this:
