Sorry, I think my comment on v2 of the patch might have been unclear
about this. We need to keep this line, too. Similar to the upstream
commit, I think we should only add

+             nft_set_elem_change_active(ctx->net, set, ext);

and leave the surrounding context as is. Not setting elem.priv will lead
to problems, I would assume.

As a general note, it can be helpful for reviewers if you briefly
describe the changes between v1 -> v2 -> v3, for example in the cover
letter.
