xtables: Fix for segfault in iptables-nft
Trying to set a chain's policy in an invalid table resulted in a segfault. Reproducer was: | # iptables -t broute -P BROUTING ACCEPT Fix this by aborting in nft_chain_new() if nft_table_builtin_find() returned NULL for the given table name. For an illustrative error message, set errno to ENXIO in the above case and add an appropriate Mesage to nft_strerror(). While being at it, improve the error message if an invalid policy was given. Before: | # iptables-nft -t filter -P INPUT ACCEPTdf | iptables: Incompatible with this kernel. After: | # iptables-nft -t filter -P INPUT ACCEPTdf | iptables: Bad policy name. Run `dmesg' for more information. Third unrelated change in this patch: Drop error checking of nft_chain_set() in do_commandx(): The function never returns negative, so that check never yielded true.
