netfilter: nat: fix double register in masquerade modules



There is a reference counter to ensure that masquerade modules register
notifiers only once. However, the existing reference counter approach is
not safe, test commands are:

   while :
   do
   	   modprobe ip6t_MASQUERADE &
	   modprobe nft_masq_ipv6 &
	   modprobe -rv ip6t_MASQUERADE &
	   modprobe -rv nft_masq_ipv6 &
   done

numbers below represent the reference counter.
--------------------------------------------------------
CPU0        CPU1        CPU2        CPU3        CPU4
[insmod]    [insmod]    [rmmod]     [rmmod]     [insmod]
--------------------------------------------------------
0->1
register    1->2
            returns     2->1
			returns     1->0
                                                0->1
                                                register <--
                                    unregister
--------------------------------------------------------

The unregistation of CPU3 should be processed before the
registration of CPU4.

In order to fix this, use a mutex instead of reference counter.
