evaluate: bogus error when adding devices to flowtable
Bail out if flowtable declaration is missing and no devices are
specified.
Otherwise, this reports a bogus error when adding new devices to an
existing flowtable.
# nft -v
nftables v1.0.9 (Old Doc Yak #3)
# ip link add dummy1 type dummy
# ip link set dummy1 up
# nft 'create flowtable inet filter f1 { hook ingress priority 0; counter }'
# nft 'add flowtable inet filter f1 { devices = { dummy1 } ; }'
Error: missing hook and priority in flowtable declaration
add flowtable inet filter f1 { devices = { dummy1 } ; }
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Fixes: 5ad475fce5a1 ("evaluate: bail out if new flowtable does not specify hook and priority")
