[PATCH 6.1 1/2] netfilter: nf_tables: allow to create netdev chain without device

[Ma Xinmeng <1564938642@qq.com>]

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

Relax netdev chain creation to allow for loading the ruleset, then
adding/deleting devices at a later stage. Hardware offload does not
support for this feature yet.

This is a 6.1 backport of upstream commit 207296f1a03b; the hunk for
nft_delchain_hook() is dropped since that function is not present in 6.1.
