All "struct stmt_ops" really must have a json hook set, to handle the
statement. And almost all of them do, except "struct chain_stmt_ops".
Soon a unit test will be added, to check that all stmt_ops have a json()
hook. Also, the missing hook in "struct chain_stmt_ops" is a bug, that
is now understood and shall be fixed soon/later.
Note that we can already hit the bug, if we would call `nft -j list
ruleset` at the end of test "tests/shell/testcases/nft-f/sample-ruleset":
warning: stmt ops chain have no json callback
Soon tests will be added, that hit this condition. Printing a message to
stderr breaks those tests, and blocks adding the tests.
Drop this warning on stderr, so we can add those other tests sooner, as
those tests are useful for testing JSON code in general. The warning
stderr was useful for finding the problem, but the problem is now
understood and will be addressed separately. Drop the message to unblock
adding those tests.
