netfilter: nf_tables: add NFT_TRANS_PREPARE_ERROR to deal with bound set/chain

Add a new state to deal with rule expressions deactivation from the
newrule error path, otherwise the anonymous set remains in the list in
inactive state for the next generation. Mark the set/chain transaction
as unbound so the abort path releases this object, set it as inactive in
the next generation so it is not reachable anymore from this transaction
and reference counter is dropped.

Fixes: 1240eb93 ("netfilter: nf_tables: incorrect error path handling with NFT_MSG_NEWRULE")
