Subject: [PATCH 4.14 174/183] netfilter: x_tables: cap allocations at 512 mbyte

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

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

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

commit 19926968ea86a286aa6fbea16ee3f2e7442f10f0 upstream.

Arbitrary limit, however, this still allows huge rulesets
(> 1 million rules).  This helps with automated fuzzer as it prevents
oom-killer invocation.
