Set the family based on the protocol otherwise protocol-neutral matches will have wrong information (e.g. NFPROTO_UNSPEC). In preparation for using NFPROTO_UNSPEC xt matches.

I think this change is incompatible with current behavior. Consider the 'policy' match which matches the packet's xfrm state (sec_path) with the provided user space parameters. The sec_path includes information about the encapsulating packet's parameters whereas the current skb points to the encapsulated packet, and the match is done on the encapsulating packet's info. So if you have an IPv6 packet encapsulated within an IPv4 packet, the match parameters should be done using IPv4 parameters, not IPv6. Maybe use the packet's family only if the match family is UNSPEC? Eyal.
