Several netfilter matches and targets put kernel pointers into
info objects, but don't set usersize in descriptors.
This leads to kernel pointer leaks if a match/target is set
and then read back to userspace.
Properly set usersize for these matches/targets.
Found with manual code inspection.
Fixes: ec23189049 ("xtables: extend matches and targets with .usersize")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
