[PATCH 4.14 60/86] netfilter: nftables: add nft_parse_register_load() and use it

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

[ backport of 4f16d25c68ec844299a4df6ecbb0234eaf88a935 ]

This new function combines the netlink register attribute parser
and the load validation function.

This update requires to replace:

	enum nft_registers      sreg:8;

in many of the expression private areas otherwise compiler complains
with:

	error: cannot take address of bit-field ‘sreg’

when passing the register field as reference.
