cache: Filter rule list on kernel side

Instead of fetching all existing rules in kernel's ruleset and filtering
in user space, add payload to the dump request specifying the table and
chain to filter for.

Since list_rule_cb() no longer needs the filter, pass only netlink_ctx
to the callback and drop struct rule_cache_dump_ctx.
