I'm going to pass this patch to -stable asap:

commit b88825de8545ad252c31543fef13cadf4de7a2bc
Author: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue Aug 5 17:25:59 2014 +0200

netfilter: nf_tables: don't update chain with unset counters

Fix possible replacement of the per-cpu chain counters by null
pointer when updating an existing chain in the commit path.

Reported-by: Matteo Croce <technoboy85@xxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I think it's the root cause for this problem.
