Placing nftables set support in an extra module is pointless:
1. nf_tables needs dynamic registeration interface for sake of one module
2. nft heavily relies on sets, e.g. even simple rule like
"nft ... tcp dport { 80, 443 }" will not work with _SETS=n.
IOW, either nftables isn't used or both nf_tables and nf_tables_set
modules are needed anyway.
With extra module:
307K net/netfilter/nf_tables.ko
79K net/netfilter/nf_tables_set.ko
text data bss dec filename
146416 3072 545 150033 nf_tables.ko
35496 1817 0 37313 nf_tables_set.ko
This patch:
373K net/netfilter/nf_tables.ko
178563 4049 545 183157 nf_tables.ko
