netfilter: nf_tables: missing error reporting for not selected expressions

Browse source

Sometimes users forget to turn on nftables extensions from Kconfig that
they need. In such case, the error reporting from userspace is
misleading:

 $ sudo nft add rule x y counter
 Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory
 add rule x y counter
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Add missing NL_SET_BAD_ATTR() to provide a hint:

 $ nft add rule x y counter
 Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory
 add rule x y counter
              ^^^^^^^
