Subject: netfilter 06/12: limit the length of the helper name

commit af9d32ad6718b9a80fa89f557cc1fbb63a93ec15

    netfilter: limit the length of the helper name
    
    This is necessary in order to have an upper bound for Netlink
    message calculation, which is not a problem at all, as there
    are no helpers with a longer name.
