netfilter: nft_compat: fix crash when related match/target module is removed

We "cache" the loaded match/target modules and reuse them, but when the
modules are removed, we still point to them. Then we may end up with
invalid memory references when using iptables-compat to add rules later.

Input the following commands will reproduce the kernel crash:
  # iptables-compat -A INPUT -j LOG
  # iptables-compat -D INPUT -j LOG
  # rmmod xt_LOG
  # iptables-compat -A INPUT -j LOG

So when nobody use the related match/target module, there's no need to
"cache" it. And nft_[match|target]_release are useless anymore, remove
them.
