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. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
