In your patch, info->prev comes set to a value from userspace, right?

commit 324318f0248c31be8a08984146e7e4dd7cdd091d

    netfilter: xtables: zero padding in data_to_user

Since that patch above, the data area is zero'ed before dumped to
userspace, so we would get a null info->prev, hence defeating the
trick your patch relies on.

Am I missing anything?
