Subject: [PATCH] xtables-restore: Review chain handling

There is no need to "delete" (actually, remove from cache) a chain if

noflush wasn't given: While handling the corresponding table line,

'table_flush' callback has already taken care of that.

This .chain_del indirection is not required since d1eb4d587297

("iptables-compat: chains are purge out already from table flush").

Streamlining the code further, move syntax checks to the top. If these

concede, there are three cases to distinguish:

A) Given chain name matches a builtin one in current table, so assume it

   exists already and just set policy and counters.

B) Noflush was given and the (custom) chain exists already, flush it.

C) Custom chain was either flushed (noflush not given) or didn't exist

   before, create it.
