Seems to be a related one, now on nfnl_lock :



[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]
4.9.0-rc8+ #82 Not tainted
-------------------------------------------------------
syz-executor3/10151 is trying to acquire lock:
(&table[i].mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff86c96f1d>]
nfnl_lock+0x2d/0x30 net/netfilter/nfnetlink.c:61
but task is already holding lock:
(rtnl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff86b0cf0c>] rtnl_lock+0x1c/0x20
net/core/rtnetlink.c:70
which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
