Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 249/254] netfilter: xt_bpf: add mising opaque struct sk_filter definition

3.16.7-ckt2 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Pablo Neira <pablo@...filter.org>

commit e10038a8ec06ac819b7552bb67aaa6d2d6f850c1 upstream.

This structure is not exposed to userspace, so fix this by defining
struct sk_filter; so we skip the casting in kernelspace. This is safe
since userspace has no way to lurk with that internal pointer.

Fixes: e6f30c7 ("netfilter: x_tables: add xt_bpf match")
