netfilter: nf_tables: revert commit_mutex usage in reset path
It causes circular lock dependency between commit_mutex, nfnl_subsys_ipset
and nlk_cb_mutex when nft reset, ipset list, and iptables-nft with '-m set'
rule run at the same time.
Previous patches made it safe to run individual reset handlers concurrently
so commit_mutex is no longer required to prevent this.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
