netfilter: nf_tables: fix error handling of rule replacement
commit 59900e0a upstream. In general, if a transaction object is added to the list successfully, we can rely on the abort path to undo what we've done. This allows us to simplify the error handling of the rule replacement path in nf_tables_newrule(). This implicitly fixes an unnecessary removal of the old rule, which needs to be left in place if we fail to replace.
