[PATCH netfilter] netfilter: xt_IDLETIMER: fix idletimer_tg_helper non-kosher casts

["Maciej Żenczykowski" <zenczykowski@gmail.com>]

From: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@google.com>

The code is relying on the identical layout of the beginning
of the v0 and v1 structs, but this can easily lead to code bugs
if one were to try to extend this further...

I use:
  char (*plabel)[MAX_IDLETIMER_LABEL_SIZE]
instead of:
  char label[MAX_IDLETIMER_LABEL_SIZE]
as the helper's argument to get better type safety
(the former checks array size, the latter does not).
