Due to missing NLM_F_ACK flag in request, nfnetlink code in kernel
didn't create an own ACK message but left it upon subsystem to ACK or
not. Since nfnetlink_osf doesn't ACK by itself, nfnl_query() got stuck
waiting for a reply.
Whoever did the conversion from deprecated nfnl_talk() obviously didn't
even test basic functionality of the tool.
Fixes: 52aa15098ebd6 ("nfnl_osf: Replace deprecated nfnl_talk() by nfnl_query()")
