When only listing rules, avoid to create the basic ruleset. Initializing
the latter is still needed so that a completely empty ruleset does not
lead to no output. But with builtin chains being added to cache
immediately, there is no need to push the changes to the kernel anymore.
Avoid this by calling nft_abort() in the right spots.
