netfilter: nf_tables: remove redundant chain validation on register store

This validation predates the introduction of the state machine that
determines when to enter slow path validation for error reporting.

Currently, table validation is perform when:

- new rule contains expressions that need validation.
- new set element with jump/goto verdict.

Validation on register store skips most checks with no basechains, still
this walks the graph searching for loops and ensuring expressions are
called from the right hook. Remove this.
