Subject: [PATCH net-next 14/14] netfilter: ctnetlink: use dump structure instead of raw args

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

netlink_dump structure has a union of 'long args[6]' and a context
buffer as scratch space.

Convert ctnetlink to use a structure, its easier to read than the
raw 'args' usage which comes with no type checks and no readable names.
