Subject: [PATCH net 4/6] netfilter: nf_tables: bogus ENOENT when destroying element which does not exist

destroy element command bogusly reports ENOENT in case a set element
does not exist. ENOENT errors are skipped, however, err is still set
and propagated to userspace.

 # nft destroy element ip raw BLACKLIST { 1.2.3.4 }
 Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory
 destroy element ip raw BLACKLIST { 1.2.3.4 }
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
