Subject: [PATCH 8/8] netfilter: nf_tables: fix possible null-pointer dereference in object update

From: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <ffmancera@...eup.net>

Not all objects have an update operation. If the object type doesn't
implement an update operation and the user tries to update it will hit
EOPNOTSUPP.

Fixes: d62d0ba97b58 ("netfilter: nf_tables: Introduce stateful object update operation")
