[PATCH 4.19 19/25] netfilter: nf_tables: Reject tables of unsupported family

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>

commit f1082dd31fe461d482d69da2a8eccfeb7bf07ac2 upstream.

An nftables family is merely a hollow container, its family just a
number and such not reliant on compile-time options other than nftables
support itself. Add an artificial check so attempts at using a family
the kernel can't support fail as early as possible. This helps user
space detect kernels which lack e.g. NFPROTO_INET.
