Its already tested?
Please explain why this isn't enough and/or provide splat/backtrace.
nla_for_each_nested(tmp, nla[NFTA_SET_ELEM_EXPRESSIONS], left) {
if (i == NFT_SET_EXPR_MAX ||
(set->num_exprs && set->num_exprs == i)) {
err = -E2BIG;
goto err_set_elem_expr;
}
if (nla_type(tmp) != NFTA_LIST_ELEM) {
err = -EINVAL;

I don't see how we can hit the if (set->num_exprs && conditional with
i == set->num_exprs.
