act_ife: load meta modules before tcf_idr_check_alloc()
The following deadlock scenario is triggered by syzbot: Thread A: Thread B: tcf_idr_check_alloc() ... populate_metalist() rtnl_unlock() rtnl_lock() ... request_module() tcf_idr_check_alloc() rtnl_lock() At this point, thread A is waiting for thread B to release RTNL lock, while thread B is waiting for thread A to commit the IDR change with tcf_idr_insert() later. Break this deadlock situation by preloading ife modules earlier, before tcf_idr_check_alloc(), this is fine because we only need to load modules we need potentially.
