Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/9] netfilter: nf_tables: relax set/map validation checks

Its currently not allowed to perform queries on a map, for example:

table t {
	map m {
		typeof ip saddr : meta mark
		..

	chain c {
		ip saddr @m counter

will fail, because kernel requires that userspace provides a destination
register when the referenced set is a map.

However, internally there is no real distinction between sets and maps,
maps are just sets where each key is associated with a value.

Relax this so that maps can be used just like sets.

This allows to have rules that query if a given key exists
without making use of the associated value.

This also permits != checks which don't work for map lookups.

When no destination reg is given for a map, then permit this for named
maps.

Data and dump paths need to be updated to consider priv->dreg_set
instead of the 'set-is-a-map' check.

Checks in reduce and validate callbacks are not changed, this
can be relaxed later if a need arises.
