Apologies for the breakage.

I will send a patch to the netfilter to define a separate
COMPAT_XT_DATA_TO_USER inside the CONFIG_COMPAT region further down
the file. This also allows simplifying XT_DATA_TO_USER by removing
those ternary statements.

-#define XT_DATA_TO_USER(U, K, TYPE, C_SIZE)                            \
+#define XT_DATA_TO_USER(U, K, TYPE)                                    \
        xt_data_to_user(U->data, K->data,                               \
                        K->u.kernel.TYPE->usersize,                     \
-                       C_SIZE ? : K->u.kernel.TYPE->TYPE##size,        \
-                       C_SIZE ? COMPAT_XT_ALIGN(C_SIZE) :              \
-                                XT_ALIGN(K->u.kernel.TYPE->TYPE##size))
+                       K->u.kernel.TYPE->TYPE##size,                   \
+                       XT_ALIGN(K->u.kernel.TYPE->TYPE##size))

and

+#define COMPAT_XT_DATA_TO_USER(U, K, TYPE, C_SIZE)                     \
+       xt_data_to_user(U->data, K->data,                               \
+                       K->u.kernel.TYPE->usersize,                     \
+                       C_SIZE,                                         \
+                       COMPAT_XT_ALIGN(C_SIZE))
