netfilter: nf_tables: fix set double-free in abort path

The abort path can cause a double-free of an anonymous set.
Added-and-to-be-aborted rule looks like this:

udp dport { 137, 138 } drop

The to-be-aborted transaction list looks like this:

newset
newsetelem
newsetelem
rule

This gets walked in reverse order, so first pass disables the rule, the
set elements, then the set.

After synchronize_rcu(), we then destroy those in same order: rule, set
element, set element, newset.

Problem is that the anonymous set has already been bound to the rule, so
the rule (lookup expression destructor) already frees the set, when then
cause use-after-free when trying to delete the elements from this set,
then try to free the set again when handling the newset expression.

Rule releases the bound set in first place from the abort path, this
causes the use-after-free on set element removal when undoing the new
element transactions. To handle this, skip new element transaction if
set is bound from the abort path.

This is still causes the use-after-free on set element removal.  To
handle this, remove transaction from the list when the set is already
bound.

Joint work with Florian Westphal.
