netfilter: nf_tables: restrict anonymous set and map names to 16 bytes
nftables has two types of sets/maps, one where userspace defines the name, and anonymous sets/maps, where userspace defines a template name. For the latter, kernel requires presence of exactly one "%d". nftables uses "__set%d" and "__map%d" for this. The kernel will expand the format specifier and replaces it with the smallest unused number. As-is, userspace could define a template name that allows to move the set name past the 256 bytes upperlimit (post-expansion). I don't see how this could be a problem, but I would prefer if userspace cannot do this, so add a limit of 16 bytes for the '%d' template name. 16 bytes is the old total upper limit for set names that existed when nf_tables was merged initially.
