NFT_MSG_GETRULE_RESET_NO_TIMEOUT sounds super ugly :/

Do you think we can add a flags attr that describes which parts
to reset?

No flags attr would reset everything.

Do you consider reset of timers to be something that must
be handled via transaction infra or do you think it can
(re)use the dump-and-reset approach?
