After the base nat hooks are registered, the first nested nat hook is
added through nf_hook_entries_insert_raw() and ->users is bumped.
However, sashiko reports that nf_hook_entries_insert_raw() fails, then
->users count remains at zero and nf_nat_unregister_fn() could hit
WARN_ON() since base nat hooks with no users is unexpected in the
unregistration path.
Postpone setting nat_proto_net->nat_hook_ops when the hooks are
registered to simplify the error path to decide whether the nat hooks
need unwinding.
Fixes: 1cd472bf036c ("netfilter: nf_nat: add nat hook register functions to nf_nat")

v3: missing else to nat_ops = nat_proto_net->nat_hook_ops conditionally.
