Subject: [PATCH] py: fix exception during cleanup of half-initialized Nftables

When we create a Nftables instance against an older library version,
we might not find a symbol and fail with an exception when initializing
the context object.

Then, __del__() is still called, but resulting in a second exception
because self.__ctx is not set. Avoid that second exception.

$ python -c 'import nftables; nftables.Nftables()'
