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.
