This is needed in case a new transaction is made that doesn't insert any new elements into an already existing set. Else, after second 'nft -f ruleset.txt', lookups in such a set will fail because ->lookup() encounters raw_cpu_ptr(m->scratch) == NULL. For the initial rule load, insertion of elements takes care of the allocation, but for rule reloads this isn't guaranteed: we might not have additions to the set.
