[PATCH nf] netfilter: nf_tables: user-after-free in failing rule with bound set

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

If a rule that has already a bound anonymous set fails to be added, the
preparation phase releases the rule and the bound set. However, the
transaction object from the abort path still has a reference to the set
object that is stale, leading to a use-after-free when checking for the
set->bound field. Add a new field to the transaction that specifies if
the set is bound, so the abort path can skip releasing it since the rule
command owns it and it takes care of releasing it. After this update,
the set->bound field is removed.
