netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: move cloning of match info to insert/removal path
This set type keeps two copies of the sets' content, priv->match (live version, used to match from packet path) priv->clone (work-in-progress version of the 'future' priv->match). All additions and removals are done on priv->clone. When transaction completes, priv->clone becomes priv->match and a new clone is allocated for use by next transaction. Problem is that the cloning requires GFP_KERNEL allocations but we cannot fail at either commit or abort time. This patch defers the clone until we get an insertion or removal request. This allows us to handle OOM situations correctly. This also allows to remove ->dirty in a followup change: If ->clone exists, ->dirty is always true If ->clone is NULL, ->dirty is always false, no elements were added or removed (except catchall elements which are external to the specific set backend).
