netfilter: nft_compat: remove flush counter optimization
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 16059 at lib/refcount.c:31 refcount_warn_saturate+0xdf/0xf [..] __nft_mt_tg_destroy+0x42/0x50 [nft_compat] nft_target_destroy+0x63/0x80 [nft_compat] nf_tables_expr_destroy+0x1b/0x30 [nf_tables] nf_tables_rule_destroy+0x3a/0x70 [nf_tables] nf_tables_exit_net+0x186/0x3d0 [nf_tables] Happens when a compat expr is destoyed from abort path. There is no functional impact; after this work queue is flushed unconditionally if its pending. This removes the waitcount optimization. Test of repeated iptables-restore of a ~60k kubernetes ruleset doesn't indicate a slowdown. In case the counter is needed after all for some workloads we can revert this and increment the refcount for the != NFT_PREPARE_TRANS case to avoid the increment/decrement imbalance. While at it, also flush for match case, this was an oversight in the original patch.
