When queueing a set element add or removal operation to the transaction
log, check if the previous operation already asks for a the identical
operation on the same set.
If so, store the element reference in the preceding operation.
This significantlty reduces memory consumption when many set add/delete
operations appear in a single transaction.
Example: 10k elements require 937kb of memory (10k allocations from
kmalloc-96 slab).
Assuming we can compact 4 elements in the same set, 468 kbytes
are needed (64 bytes for base struct, nft_trans_elemn, 32 bytes
for nft_trans_one_elem structure, so 2500 allocations from kmalloc-192
slab).
For large batch updates we can compact up to 62 elements
into one single nft_trans_elem structure (~65% mem reduction):
(64 bytes for base struct, nft_trans_elem, 32 byte for nft_trans_one_elem
struct).
We can halve size of nft_trans_one_elem struct by moving
timeout/expire/update_flags into a dynamically allocated structure,
this allows to store 124 elements in a 2k slab nft_trans_elem struct.
This is done in a followup patch.
