iptable prevents nftables to be loaded

Since a while I am using nftables for my firewalling needs. My nftables.conf has some prerouting settings. After playing with docker, I had the issue that I was no longer able to reload my nftables:

/etc/nftables.conf:12:9-18: Error: Could not process rule: Device or resource busy
chain prerouting {
^^^^^^^^^^

Also disabling the Docker service did not help. It seems that the kernel module iptable_nat needs to be removed, but this is currently in use:

# rmmod iptable_nat
rmmod: ERROR: Module iptable_nat is in use

There are some iptable rules/chains active which prevent the module from unloading. By clearing the iptable configuration, especially the nat table, it is possible to remove iptable_nat and then using nftables again.

iptables -F
iptables -X
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t nat -X
iptables -t mangle -F
iptables -t mangle -X
