nfp: flower-ct: add nft flows to nft list
Implement code to add and remove nft flows to the relevant list. Registering and deregistering the callback function for the nft table is quite complicated. The safest is to delete the callback on the removal of the last pre_ct flow. This is because if this is also the latest pre_ct flow in software it means that this specific nft table will be freed, so there will not be a later opportunity to do this. Another place where it looks possible to delete the callback is when the last nft_flow is deleted, but this happens under the flow_table lock, which is also taken when deregistering the callback, leading to a deadlock situation. This means the final solution here is to delete the callback when removing the last pre_ct flow, and then clean up any remaining nft_flow entries which may still be present, since there will never be a callback now to do this, leaving them orphaned if not cleaned up here as well.
