[PATCH nft 3/3] src: evaluate: return immediately if no op was requested

[Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx>]

This makes nft behave like 0.9.0 -- the ruleset

flush ruleset
table inet filter {
}
table inet filter {
      chain test {
        counter
    }
}

loads again without generating an error message.
I've added a test case for this, without this it will create an error,
and with a checkout of the 'fixes' tag we get crash.

Closes: https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1351
Fixes: e5382c0d08e3c ("src: Support intra-transaction rule references")
