If this oops is only triggerable from userspace, I think a sanity
check in nfnetlink_parse_nat_setup should suffice to reject
unsupported layer 3 and layer 4 protocols.

I mean, in this patch I see more chunks in the packet path, such as
nf_nat_l3proto_ipv4 that should never happen. I would just fix the
userspace ctnetlink path.

BTW, do you have a Fixes: tag for this? This will be useful for
-stable maintainer to pick up this fix.

Thanks.
