The following series lifts the tight restriction on name length of
tables, chains, sets and objects. This is done by allocating memory for
names dynamically, so there is no added overhead when reducing the
restriction to a mere sanity level of 255 characters.

The first patch removes a needless check discovered when discussing v2
of this patch set.

The second patch introduces nla_strdup() which aids in duplicating a
string contained in a netlink attribute. It is used to replace the call
to nla_strlcpy() when populating name fields.

I've tested the series manually by creating tables, chains, sets and
counter objects with long names and automated by running the py and
shell testsuites of nftables repo. Also, kmemleak did not find anything
nftables related.

Changes since v2:
- Added new patch 1.
- Patch 2 remains unchanged.
- Detailed changelog of remaining patches is found there.
