[ Upstream commit aaba7ddc8507f4ad5bbd07988573967632bc2385 ]
Parse netlink attribute containing the chain type in this update, to
bail out if this is different from the existing type.
Otherwise, it is possible to define a chain with the same name, hook and
priority but different type, which is silently ignored.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
