I really wonder what is going on here. Normally if you break the build, you fix
it. However it seems nobody really cares enough. If I am not mistaken, then
this patch broke it:

netfilter: replace list_head with single linked list
The netfilter hook list never uses the prev pointer, and so can be trimmed
to
be a simple singly-linked list.
It is funny that it would have been obvious to test CONFIG_NETFILTER_INGRESS=n
since there is an ifdef right in the first hunk of the patch.
struct netdev_queue __rcu *ingress_queue;
#ifdef CONFIG_NETFILTER_INGRESS
- struct list_head nf_hooks_ingress;
+ struct nf_hook_entry __rcu *nf_hooks_ingress;
#endif
