netfilter: nf_tables: add space notation to sets
The space notation allows us to classify the set backend implementation based on the amount of required memory. This provides an order of the set representation scalability in terms of memory. The size field is still left in place so use this if the userspace provides no explicit number of elements, so we cannot calculate the real memory that this set needs. This also helps us break ties in the set backend selection routine, eg. two backend implementations provide the same performance. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
