Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the netfilter tree

Hi all,

After merging the netfilter tree, today's linux-next build (i386
defconfig) failed like this:

net/netfilter/x_tables.c: In function 'xt_match_to_user':
net/netfilter/x_tables.c:303:13: error: implicit declaration of function 'COMPAT_XT_ALIGN' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
    C_SIZE ? COMPAT_XT_ALIGN(C_SIZE) :  \
             ^
net/netfilter/x_tables.c:310:9: note: in expansion of macro 'XT_DATA_TO_USER'
         XT_DATA_TO_USER(u, m, match, 0);
         ^

Caused by commit

  324318f0248c ("netfilter: xtables: zero padding in data_to_user")

In the !CONFIG_COMPAT case C_SIZE will always be zero, but the compiler
is still looking for the macro :-(

I added this cludge patch (I am sure it can be done better):
