No regressions on arm64, arm and x86_64.

Really? How did you all miss the netfilter bug that was introduced by
this series?


If I understand the related exchange correctly, this bug exists upstream as well,
and no one caught it there either. I am also not sure if there are secondary
conditions, such as the number of multicast groups. Given that, I don't really
feel that bad. On the contrary, kudos to Nathan for catching it.

This just shows that our testing is not perfect and needs to improve further.
