cache: recycle existing cache with incremental updates
Cache tracking has improved over time by incrementally adding/deleting objects when evaluating commands that are going to be sent to the kernel. nft_cache_is_complete() already checks that the cache contains objects that are required to handle this batch of commands by comparing cache flags. Infer from the current generation ID if no other transaction has invalidated the existing cache, this allows to skip unnecessary cache flush then refill situations which slow down incremental updates.
