netfilter: nf_tables: skip immediate deactivate in _PREPARE_ERROR

jira VULN-8835
cve CVE-2023-4015

commit 0a771f7

On error when building the rule, the immediate expression unbinds the
chain, hence objects can be deactivated by the transaction records.

Otherwise, it is possible to trigger the following warning:

 WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 915 at net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:2013 nf_tables_chain_destroy+0x1f7/0x210 [nf_tables]
 CPU: 3 PID: 915 Comm: chain-bind-err- Not tainted 6.1.39 #1
