Florian Westphal 2f941622fd netfilter: nft_compat: remove flush counter optimization

Happens when a compat expr is destoyed from abort path.
There is no functional impact; after this work queue is flushed
unconditionally if its pending.

This removes the waitcount optimization.  Test of repeated
iptables-restore of a ~60k kubernetes ruleset doesn't indicate
a slowdown.  In case the counter is needed after all for some workloads
we can revert this and increment the refcount for the
!= NFT_PREPARE_TRANS case to avoid the increment/decrement imbalance.

While at it, also flush for match case, this was an oversight
in the original patch.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
