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.
