I suggest you fix this userspace example instead, we should always send NFCTH_PRIV_DATA_LEN. This is integral part of the helper description. NFCTH_ATTR_PRIV_DATA_LEN has been always set from the conntrack-tools, so most likely this example just got outdated at some point of the development and nobody noticed so far.
