[PATCH 1/2 nf-next] netfilter: nft_exthdr: remove redundant op parsing in tcp_set_init

The nft_exthdr_tcp_set_init() function is exclusively used for TCP
options. Therefore, parsing the NFTA_EXTHDR_OP attribute from user
space is redundant, as the operation type must always be
NFT_EXTHDR_OP_TCPOPT.

Remove the unnecessary netlink attribute parsing and hardcode priv->op
to NFT_EXTHDR_OP_TCPOPT, which simplifies the code and reduces the
object size.
