netfilter: nf_tables: flush pending destroy work before netlink notifier

[ Upstream commit 2c9f0293280e258606e54ed2b96fa71498432eae ]

Destroy work waits for the RCU grace period then it releases the objects
with no mutex held. All releases objects follow this path for
transactions, therefore, order is guaranteed and references to top-level
objects in the hierarchy remain valid.

However, netlink notifier might interfer with pending destroy work.
rcu_barrier() is not correct because objects are not release via RCU
callback. Flush destroy work before releasing objects from netlink
notifier path.
