[nf_tables PATCH v4 1/5] netfilter: nf_tables: refactor rule deletion helper

[Arturo Borrero Gonzalez <arturo.borrero.glez@gmail.com>]

This helper function always schedule the rule to be removed in the following
transaction.
In follow-up patches, it is interesting to handle separately the logic of rule
activation/disactivation from the transaction mechanism.

So, this patch simply splits the original nf_tables_delrule_one() in two
functions, allowing further control.

While at it, for the sake of homigeneize the function naming scheme, let's
rename nf_tables_delrule_one() to nft_delrule().

v2: no changes, resending the series.
v3: change 'disactivate' and use 'deactivate'. Requested by Patrick.
v4: no changes, resending the series because v3 series is invalid.
