commit c781471d67a56d7d4c113669a11ede0463b5c719 upstream.

Sometimes users forget to turn on nftables extensions from Kconfig that
they need. In such case, the error reporting from userspace is
misleading:

 $ sudo nft add rule x y counter
 Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory
 add rule x y counter
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Add missing NL_SET_BAD_ATTR() to provide a hint:

 $ nft add rule x y counter
 Error: Could not process rule: No such file or directory
 add rule x y counter
              ^^^^^^^
