Subject: [PATCH 3.10 015/180] netfilter: x_tables: don't reject valid target size on some architectures

From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

commit 7b7eba0f3515fca3296b8881d583f7c1042f5226 upstream.

Quoting John Stultz:
  In updating a 32bit arm device from 4.6 to Linus' current HEAD, I
  noticed I was having some trouble with networking, and realized that
  /proc/net/ip_tables_names was suddenly empty.
  Digging through the registration process, it seems we're catching on the:

   if (strcmp(t->u.user.name, XT_STANDARD_TARGET) == 0 &&
       target_offset + sizeof(struct xt_standard_target) != next_offset)
         return -EINVAL;

  Where next_offset seems to be 4 bytes larger then the
  offset + standard_target struct size.

next_offset needs to be aligned via XT_ALIGN (so we can access all members
of ip(6)t_entry struct).

This problem didn't show up on i686 as it only needs 4-byte alignment for
u64, but iptables userspace on other 32bit arches does insert extra padding.
