Pablo Neira Ayuso fb7fb40163 netfilter: nf_tables: clone set on flush only
Syzbot with fault injection triggered a failing memory allocation with
GFP_KERNEL which results in a WARN splat:

Restrict set clone to the flush set command in the preparation phase.
Add NFT_ITER_UPDATE_CLONE and use it for this purpose, update the rbtree
and pipapo backends to only clone the set when this iteration type is
used.

As for the existing NFT_ITER_UPDATE type, update the pipapo backend to
use the existing set clone if available, otherwise use the existing set
representation. After this update, there is no need to clone a set that
is being deleted, this includes bound anonymous set.

An alternative approach to NFT_ITER_UPDATE_CLONE is to add a .clone
interface and call it from the flush set path.
