For loads, this is already prevented via expr_evaluate_bits() which has:
if (masklen > NFT_REG_SIZE * BITS_PER_BYTE)
return expr_error(ctx->msgs, expr, "mask length %u exceeds allowed maximum of %u\n",
masklen, NFT_REG_SIZE * BITS_PER_BYTE);
But for the store path this isn't called.
The reproducer asks to store a 128 bit integer at bit offset 1, i.e.
17 bytes would need to be munged, but we can only handle up to 16 bytes
(one pseudo-register).
