Subject: [PATCH 05/14] netfilter: nf_tables: fix possible oops when dumping stateful objects

From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@...il.com>

When dumping nft stateful objects, if NFTA_OBJ_TABLE and NFTA_OBJ_TYPE
attributes are not specified either, filter will become NULL, so oops
will happen(actually nft utility will always set NFTA_OBJ_TABLE attr,
so I write a test program to make this happen):

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
  IP: nf_tables_dump_obj+0x17c/0x330 [nf_tables]
  [...]
  Call Trace:
  ? nf_tables_dump_obj+0x5/0x330 [nf_tables]
  ? __kmalloc_reserve.isra.35+0x31/0x90
