[PATCH v3 1/6] netfilter: sanity checks on NFPROTO_NUMPROTO

[Alban Crequy <alban.crequy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With the NFPROTO_* constants introduced by commit 7e9c6e ("netfilter: Introduce
NFPROTO_* constants"), it is too easy to confuse PF_* and NFPROTO_* constants
in new protocols.

Signed-off-by: Alban Crequy <alban.crequy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

v2:
 - use WARN
 - return -EINVAL
v3:
 - two checkings
