Subject: netfilter: nf_tables: fix a wrong check to skip the inactive rules
From: Liping Zhang <liping.zhang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8fff1722f705ce5023a0d6d77a31a9d013be2a34 upstream.
nft_genmask_cur has already done left-shift operator on the gencursor,
so there's no need to do left-shift operator on it again.
