I find out that it's because this patch depends on a previous patch I've
just sent:

[v4] netfilter: ebtables: fix fortify warnings in size_entry_mwt()

Maybe I should make them two into a patch set? Otherwise if I adapt this
patch to net-next, it won't be applied either if the above patch is
applied ...
