netfilter: nft_compat: relax chain type validation
Check for nat chain dependency only, which is the one that can actually crash the kernel. Don't care if mangle, filter and security specific match and targets are used out of their scope, they are harmless. This restores iptables-compat with mangle specific match/target when used out of the OUTPUT chain, that are actually emulated through filter chains, which broke when performing strict validation. Fixes: f3f5dde ("netfilter: nft_compat: validate chain type in match/target") Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
