netfilter: nf_tables: Add flowtable map for xdp offload
This adds a small internal mapping table so that a new bpf (xdp) kfunc can perform lookups in a flowtable. As-is, xdp program has access to the device pointer, but no way to do a lookup in a flowtable -- there is no way to obtain the needed struct without questionable stunts. This allows to obtain an nf_flowtable pointer given a net_device structure. In order to keep backward compatibility, the infrastructure allows the user to add a given device to multiple flowtables, but it will always return the first added mapping performing the lookup since it assumes the right configuration is 1:1 mapping between flowtables and net_devices.
