netfilter: nf_tables: fix type mismatch with error return from nft_parse_u32_check
commit f1d505bb upstream. Commit 36b701fa ("netfilter: nf_tables: validate maximum value of u32 netlink attributes") introduced nft_parse_u32_check with a return value of "unsigned int", yet on error it returns "-ERANGE". This patch corrects the mismatch by changing the return value to "int", which happens to match the actual users of nft_parse_u32_check already. Found by Coverity, CID 1373930. Note that commit 21a9e0f1 ("netfilter: nft_exthdr: fix error handling in nft_exthdr_init()) attempted to address the issue, but did not address the return type of nft_parse_u32_check.
