In nf_tables_set_alloc_name(), we are trying to find a new, unused name for our new set and interate through the list of present sets. As far as I can see, we're using format string %d to parse already present names in order to mark their presence in a bitmap, so that we can later on find the first 0 in that map to assign the new set name to. We should rather use a temporary variable of type int to store the result of sscanf() to, and for making sanity checks on.
