netfilter: nf_tables: Introduce NFT_TABLE_F_PERSIST
This companion flag to NFT_TABLE_F_OWNER requests the kernel to keep the
table around after the process has exited. It marks such table as
orphaned (by dropping OWNER flag but keeping PERSIST flag in place),
which opens it for other processes to manipulate. For the sake of
simplicity, PERSIST flag may not be altered though.
