netfilter: nf_tables: Have a list of nf_hook_ops in nft_hook

Supporting a 1:n relationship between nft_hook and nf_hook_ops is
convenient since a chain's or flowtable's nft_hooks may remain in place
despite matching interfaces disappearing. This stabilizes ruleset dumps
in that regard and opens the possibility to claim newly added interfaces
which match the spec. Also it prepares for wildcard interface specs
since these will potentially match multiple interfaces.

All spots dealing with hook registration are updated to handle a list of
multiple nf_hook_ops, but nft_netdev_hook_alloc() only adds a single
item for now to retain the old behaviour. The only expected functional
change here is how vanishing interfaces are handled: Instead of dropping
the respective nft_hook, only the matching nf_hook_ops are dropped.

To safely remove individual ops from the list in netdev handlers, an
rcu_head is added to struct nf_hook_ops so kfree_rcu() may be used.
There is at least nft_flowtable_find_dev() which may be iterating
through the list at the same time.
