From: Matthias Kaehlcke mka@chromium.org

commit a2b7cbdd2559aff06cebc28a7150f81c307a90d3 upstream.

Not all parameters passed to ctnetlink_parse_tuple() and ctnetlink_exp_dump_tuple() match the enum type in the signatures of these functions. Since this is intended change the argument type of to be an unsigned integer value.
