Subject: [PATCH 6/9] netfilter: nf_tables: fix unexpected EOPNOTSUPP error

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2019 12:12:34 +0100

From: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <[email-masked]>

If the object type doesn't implement an update operation and the user tries to
update it will silently ignore the update operation.

Fixes: aa4095a156b5 ("netfilter: nf_tables: fix possible null-pointer dereference in object update")
