[PATCH nft] src: don't return error in netlink_linearize_rule()

[PATCH nft] src: don't return error in netlink_linearize_rule()

[Pablo Neira Ayuso]

This function converts the rule from the list of statements to the
netlink message format. The only two possible errors that can make
this function to fail are memory exhaustion and malformed statements
which inmediately stop the execution of nft.
