was instantiating filters while an update happened, the previous order
lead to a deadlock.
I am also adding a text file describing the locking order of the
nwfilter subsystem.

Hmm. We have daemon/THREADING.txt, src/qemu/THREADS.txt, and now
src/nwfilter/locking.txt.
Let's pick a single name for all 3 (THREADS.txt is my favorite - it's
shortest, and by being ALL-CAPS, it sorts first in the directory for
when you need it, and does not interfere with .c files for when you
don't want to be bothered by it).
I think you can be pre-approved to push an independent patch that
trivially renames THREADING.txt to THREADS.txt, plus the Makefile.am
fallout.
Also, you need to list your new file in src/Makefile.am.
ACK with those changes.
