PATCH v3 1/1 ruleset: fix crash if we free sets included in the set_list

When we parse a ruleset which has a rule using a set. First step is parse the set, set up an id and add it to a set list. Later, we use this set list to find the set associated to the rule and we set up the set id to the expression (lookup expression) of the rule.

The problem is if we return this set using the function nft_ruleset_parse_file_cb and we free this set. We have a crash when we try to iterate in the set list.

This patch solves it, cloning the set and adding the new set to the set list.

You have exactly the same problem in nft_ruleset_json_parse().

Have a look at the patch attached, it provides a template on how to fix this.

Another different thing: it would be good to use the new 'buffer' class to snprintf the ruleset.

Applied, thanks.
