netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: add NFQA_CAP_LEN attribute
This patch adds the NFQA_CAP_LEN attribute that allows us to know what is the real packet size from user-space (even if we decided to retrieve just a few bytes from the packet instead of all of it). Security software that inspects packets should always check for this new attribute to make sure that it is inspecting the entire packet. This also helps to provide a workaround for the problem described in: http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=134519473212536&w=2 Original idea from Florian Westphal.
