Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.6 038/139] netfilter: nf_tables: don't initialize registers in nft_do_chain()

From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

[ Upstream commit c88baabf16d1ef74ab8832de9761226406af5507 ]

revert commit 4c905f6740a3 ("netfilter: nf_tables: initialize registers in
nft_do_chain()").

Previous patch makes sure that loads from uninitialized registers are
detected from the control plane. in this case rule blob auto-zeroes
registers.  Thus the explicit zeroing is not needed anymore.
