nft_table_lookup() allows us to obtain the table object by the name and

Remove flow rule release from the offload commit path, otherwise error
from the offload commit phase might trigger a double-free due to the
execution of the abort_offload -> abort. After this patch, the abort
path takes care of releasing the flow rule.
This fix also needs to move the nft_flow_rule_create() call before the
transaction object is added otherwise the abort path might find a NULL
pointer to the flow rule object for the NFT_CHAIN_HW_OFFLOAD case.
While at it, rename BASIC-like goto tags to slightly more meaningful

The TCP option parser in synproxy (synproxy_parse_options) could read
one byte out of bounds. When the length is 1, the execution flow gets
into the loop, reads one byte of the opcode, and if the opcode is
neither TCPOPT_EOL nor TCPOPT_NOP, it reads one more byte, which exceeds
the length of 1.
This fix is inspired by commit 9609dad263 ("ipv4: tcp_input: fix stack

We don't need a valid MXCSR state for the lookup routines, none of
the instructions we use rely on or affect any bit in the MXCSR
register.
Instead of calling kernel_fpu_begin(), we can pass 0 as mask to
kernel_fpu_begin_mask() and spare one LDMXCSR instruction.
Commit 49200d17d2 ("x86/fpu/64: Don't FNINIT in kernel_fpu_begin()")
already speeds up lookups considerably, and by dropping the MCXSR
initialisation we can now get a much smaller, but measurable, increase
in matching rates.
The table below reports matching rates and a wild approximation of
clock cycles needed for a match in a "port,net" test with 10 entries
from selftests/netfilter/nft_concat_range.sh, limited to the first
field, i.e. the port (with nft_set_rbtree initialisation skipped), run
on a single AMD Epyc 7351 thread (2.9GHz, 512 KiB L1D$, 8 MiB L2$).
The (very rough) estimation of clock cycles is obtained by simply
dividing frequency by matching rate. The "cycles spared" column refers
to the difference in cycles compared to the previous row, and the rate
increase also refers to the previous row. Results are averages of six
runs.
Merely for context, I'm also reporting packet rates obtained by
skipping kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() altogether (which
shows a very limited impact now), as well as skipping the whole lookup
function, compared to simply counting and dropping all packets using
the netdev hook drop (see nft_concat_range.sh for details). This
workload also includes packet generation with pktgen and the receive
path of veth.

The clock cycles spared by avoiding LDMXCSR appear to be in line with CPI
and latency indicated in the manuals of comparable architectures: Intel
Skylake (CPI: 1, latency: 7) and AMD 12h (latency: 12) -- I couldn't find
this information for AMD 17h.

Chunks are SCTP header extensions similar in implementation to IPv6
extension headers or TCP options. Reusing exthdr expression to find and
extract field values from them is therefore pretty straightforward.
For now, this supports extracting data from chunks at a fixed offset
(and length) only - chunks themselves are an extensible data structure;
in order to make all fields available, a nested extension search is
needed.
