But AFAICS we copy before this:

nft_target_init:

size = XT_ALIGN(nla_len(tb[NFTA_TARGET_INFO]));
...
target_compat_from_user(target, nla_data(tb[NFTA_TARGET_INFO]), info);
   -> memcpy(out, in, t->targetsize);

xt_check_target(&par, size, proto, inv);  // checks size vs. targetsize

'target' is sized based on target->targetsize in
nft_target_select_ops().

So if tb[NFTA_TARGET_INFO] is != t->targetsize we might copy more
data than whats in 'in', no?
