3.16.7-ckt21 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Florian Westphal <[email protected]> commit dbc3617f4c1f9fcbe63612048cb9583fea1e11ab upstream. nfnetlink_bind request_module()s all the time as nfnetlink_get_subsys() shifts the argument by 8 to obtain the subsys id. So using type instead of type << 8 always returns NULL.
