netfilter: nf_tables: add function to create set stateful expressions
[ Upstream commit
a8fe4154fa5a1bae590b243ed60f871e5a5e1378 ]
Add a helper function to allocate and initialize the stateful expressions
that are defined in a set.
This patch allows to reuse this code from the set update path, to check
that type of the update matches the existing set in the kernel.
