Subject: [PATCH 15/19] netfilter: nf_nat: remove obsolete check in nf_nat_mangle_udp_packet()

From: Patrick McHardy <kaber@...sh.net>

The packet size check originates from a time when UDP helpers could
accidentally mangle incorrect packets (NEWNAT) and is unnecessary
nowadays since the conntrack helpers invoke the NAT helpers for the
proper packet directly.
