If we dump NFPROTO_UNSPEC as nfproto user-space libxtables can't handle
it and would exit with an error like:
"libxtables: unhandled NFPROTO in xtables_set_nfproto"
In order to avoid the error return the user-specified nfproto. If we
don't record it then the match family is used which can be
NFPROTO_UNSPEC. Even if we add support to mask NFPROTO_UNSPEC in
iproute2 we have to be compatible with older versions which would be
also be allowed to add NFPROTO_UNSPEC matches (e.g. addrtype after the
last patch).
v3: don't use the user nfproto for matching, only for dumping the rule,
also don't allow the nfproto to be unspecified (explained above)
v2: adjust changes to missing patch, was patch 04 in v1

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
