netfilter: nf_tables: report use refcount overflow

commit 1689f259 upstream.

Overflow use refcount checks are not complete.

Add helper function to deal with object reference counter tracking.
Report -EMFILE in case UINT_MAX is reached.

nft_use_dec() splats in case that reference counter underflows,
which should not ever happen.

Add nft_use_inc_restore() and nft_use_dec_restore() which are used
to restore reference counter from error and abort paths.

Use u32 in nft_flowtable and nft_object since helper functions cannot
work on bitfields.

Remove the few early incomplete checks now that the helper functions
are in place and used to check for refcount overflow.

Fixes: 96518518
