netfilter: nf_tables: disable toggling dormant table state more than …

nft -f -<<EOF

add table ip t { flags dormant; }
add chain ip t c { type filter hook input priority 0; }
add table ip t
EOF

Triggers a splat from nf core on next table delete because we lose
track of right hook register state:

WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1597 at net/netfilter/core.c:501 __nf_unregister_net_hook
RIP: 0010:__nf_unregister_net_hook+0x41b/0x570
 nf_unregister_net_hook+0xb4/0xf0
 __nf_tables_unregister_hook+0x160/0x1d0
[..]

The above should have table in *active* state, but in fact no
hooks were registered.

Reject on/off/on games rather than attempting to fix this.
