netfilter: fix export secctx error handling
In 1ae4de0cdf855305765592647025bde55e85e451, the secctx was exported via the /proc/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack and ctnetlink interfaces instead of the secmark. That patch introduced the use of security_secid_to_secctx() which may return a non-zero value on error. In one of my setups, I have NF_CONNTRACK_SECMARK enabled but no security modules. Thus, security_secid_to_secctx() returns a negative value that results in the breakage of the /proc and `conntrack -L' outputs. To fix this, we skip the inclusion of secctx if the aforementioned function fails. This patch also fixes the dynamic netlink message size calculation if security_secid_to_secctx() returns an error, since its logic is also wrong. This problem exists in Linux kernel >= 2.6.37.
