The builtin table check guarding the 'is incompatible' warning was wrong: The idea was to print the warning only for incompatible tables which are builtin, not for others. Yet the code would print the warning only for non-builtin ones. Also reorder the checks: nft_table_builtin_find() is fast and therefore a quick way to bail for uninteresting tables. The compatibility check is needed for the remaining tables, only.
