Series [nf,v3,1/2] netfilter: nf_tables: add position handle in event notification | expand

Commit Message

Deactivate old rule first, then append the new rule, so rule replacement
notification via netlink first reports the deletion of the old rule with
handle X in first place, then it adds the new rule (reusing the handle X
of the replaced old rule).

Note that the abort path releases the transaction that has been created
by nft_delrule() on error.

Fixes: ca08987885a1 ("netfilter: nf_tables: deactivate expressions in rule replecement routine")
