I also see warnings in nfqueue:

net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.c:1083:11: warning: 'nfnl_ct' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.c:519:19: warning: 'nfnl_ct' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

Both are false positives, but it would be nice if we could silence
these.
