Please disregard the previous patch, this is the correct one.

netfilter: sanity checks on NFPROTO_NUMPROTO

With the NFPROTO_* constants introduced by commit 7e9c6e ("netfilter: Introduce
NFPROTO_* constants"), it is too easy to confuse PF_* and NFPROTO_* constants
in new protocols.

Then, better add two checkings. One to spot the first warning, and
another to spot the second.

I havent seen such a code in any netfilter code and I like that things
remain consistent.
