Pablo Neira Ayuso 42f1c27120 netfilter: nftables: comment indirect serialization of commit_mutex with rtnl_mutex
Add an explicit comment in the code to describe the indirect
serialization of the holders of the commit_mutex with the rtnl_mutex.
Commit 90d2723c6d ("netfilter: nf_tables: do not hold reference on
netdevice from preparation phase") already describes this, but a comment
in this case is better for reference.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
