netfilter: nf_tables: make nft_set_do_lookup available unconditionally

[ Upstream commit 11fe5a82e53ac3581a80c88e0e35fb8a80e15f48 ]

This function was added for retpoline mitigation and is replaced by a
static inline helper if mitigations are not enabled.

Enable this helper function unconditionally so next patch can add a lookup
restart mechanism to fix possible false negatives while transactions are
in progress.

Adding lookup restarts in nft_lookup_eval doesn't work as nft_objref would
then need the same copypaste loop.

This patch is separate to ease review of the actual bug fix.
