Subject: [PATCH nf] netfilter/xt_u32: validate user space input

The xt_u32 module doesn't validate the fields in the xt_u32 structure.
An attacker may take advantage of this to trigger an OOB read by setting
the size fields with a value beyond the arrays boundaries.

Add a checkentry function to validate the structure.

This was originally reported by the ZDI project (ZDI-CAN-18408).

Fixes: 1b50b8a371e9 ("[NETFILTER]: Add u32 match")
