Some of the functions may be unused (CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK_GLUE_CT=n and CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_EVENTS=n), it prevents kernel builds with clang, `make W=1` and CONFIG_WERROR=y: net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c:657:22: error: unused function 'ctnetlink_acct_size' [-Werror,-Wunused-function] 657 | static inline size_t ctnetlink_acct_size(const struct nf_conn *ct) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c:667:19: error: unused function 'ctnetlink_secctx_size' [-Werror,-Wunused-function] 667 | static inline int ctnetlink_secctx_size(const struct nf_conn *ct) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c:683:22: error: unused function 'ctnetlink_timestamp_size' [-Werror,-Wunused-function] 683 | static inline size_t ctnetlink_timestamp_size(const struct nf_conn *ct) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fix this by guarding possible unused functions with ifdeffery.
