This patch correlates the in-kernel extended netlink error offset and
the location information.
Assuming 'foo' table does not exist, then error reporting shows:
# nft delete table foo
Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory
delete table foo
^^^
Similarly, if table uniquely identified by handle '1234' does not exist,
then error reporting shows:
# nft delete table handle 1234
Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory
delete table handle 1234
^^^^
Assuming 'bar' chain does not exists in the kernel, while 'foo' does:
# nft delete chain foo bar
Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory
delete chain foo bar
^^^
This also gives us a hint when adding rules:
# nft add rule ip foo bar counter
Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory
add rule ip foo bar counter
^^^
This is based on ("src: basic support for extended netlink errors") from
Florian Westphal, posted in 2018, with no netlink offset correlation
support.
