Pablo Neira Ayuso c9526aeb49 netfilter: nf_tables: do not remove elements if set backend implements .abort 
pipapo set backend maintains two copies of the datastructure, removing
the elements from the copy that is going to be discarded slows down
the abort path significantly, from several minutes to few seconds after
this patch.

This patch was previously reverted by

  f86fb94011 ("netfilter: nf_tables: revert do not remove elements if set backend implements .abort")

but it is now possible since recent work by Florian Westphal to perform
on-demand clone from insert/remove path:

  532aec7e87 ("netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: remove dirty flag")
  3f1d886cc7 ("netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: move cloning of match info to insert/removal path")
  a238106703 ("netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: prepare pipapo_get helper for on-demand clone")
  c5444786d0 ("netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: merge deactivate helper into caller")
  6c108d9bee ("netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: prepare walk function for on-demand clone")
  8b8a241755 ("netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: prepare destroy function for on-demand clone")
  80efd2997f ("netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: make pipapo_clone helper return NULL")
  a590f47609 ("netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: move prove_locking helper around")

after this series, the clone is fully released once aborted, no need to
take it back to previous state. Thus, no stale reference to elements can
occur.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
