nf_register_hooks must be called only once upon nf_hook object, otherwise it would lead dead-loop and thus system hang.
We are using register_pernet_subsys as unified soltuion for all network namespaces, but nf_register_net_hooks is only available kernels >= 4.3.0. nf_register_net_hooks is called per-net, while nf_register_hook is NOT. So we need limit the calling of nf_register_hooks, and the same to it's pair: nf_unregister_hooks.
