[NETFILTER]: cleanup nfnetlink_check_attributes()
1) memset return parameter 'cda' (nfattr pointer array) only on success 2) a message without attributes and just a 'struct nfgenmsg' is valid, don't return -EINVAL 3) use likely() and unlikely() where apropriate Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
