[PATCH net-next 5/8] netfilter: nf_tables: Don't allocate nft_rule_dump_ctx

[Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Phil Sutter <phil@xxxxxx>

Since struct netlink_callback::args is not used by rule dumpers anymore,
use it to hold nft_rule_dump_ctx. Add a build-time check to make sure it
won't ever exceed the available space.
