[bpf-next,v3,3/6] netfilter: bpf: Prevent defrag module unload while link active

Commit Message

While in practice we could handle the module being unloaded while a
netfilter link (that requested defrag) was active, it's a better user
experience to prevent the defrag module from going away. It would
violate user expectations if fragmented packets started showing up if
some other part of the system tried to unload defrag module.
