nft: Simplify per table chain cache update

Previously, each table's chain cache was potentially unallocated until
nftnl_chain_list_cb() saw a chain for it. This means such callback had to
check the chain_cache pointer for each chain belonging to that table.

In addition to the above, nft_chain_list_get() had to cover for the
possibility that a given table didn't have any chains at all in kernel,
so check requested table's chain cache once more and allocate it if
NULL.

Instead, simply iterate over all tables and preallocate their chain
caches prior to requesting the chain list from kernel. The only caveat
is to flush the chain cache completely before retrying in case of EINTR.
