From: Todd Seidelmann <tseidelm...@linode.com> [ Upstream commit 3cf2f450fff304be9cf4868bf0df17f253bc5b1c ]
Simplify the check in physdev_mt_check() to emit an error message only when passed an invalid chain (ie, NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT). This avoids cluttering up the log with errors against valid rules. For large/heavily modified rulesets, current behavior can quickly overwhelm the ring buffer, because this function gets called on every change, regardless of the rule that was changed.
