Subject: [PATCH 3/9] netfilter: nft_dynset: do not reject set updates with NFT_SET_EVAL

NFT_SET_EVAL is signalling the kernel that this sets can be updated from
the evaluation path, even if there are no expressions attached to the
element. Otherwise, set updates with no expressions fail. Update
description to describe the right semantics.

Fixes: 22fe54d5fefc ("netfilter: nf_tables: add support for dynamic set updates")
