Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_nat_h323: fix logical-not-parentheses warning

Clang produces the following warning:

net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_h323.c:553:6: error:
logical not is only applied to the left hand side of this comparison
  [-Werror,-Wlogical-not-parentheses]
if (!set_h225_addr(skb, protoff, data, dataoff, taddr,
    ^
add parentheses after the '!' to evaluate the comparison first
add parentheses around left hand side expression to silence this warning

There's not necessarily a bug here, but it's cleaner to use the form:

if (x != 0)

rather than:

if (!x == 0)

Also, it's even cleaner to use the form:

if (x)

but then if the return codes change from treating 0 as success (unlikely),
then all call sites must be updated.

I'm happy to send v2 that changes to that form, and updates the other call
sites to be:

if (set_h225_addr())
  handle_failures()
else
  handle_success()
