  [ Test case ]

  Install iptables-netflow-dkms:

  $ sudo apt install iptables-netflow-dkms

  Load the module:

  $ sudo modprobe ipt_NETFLOW

  [ Fix ]

  Linux 6.11 does not allow to have empty elements
  at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) anymore.
  Therefore it is necessary to adjust the code accordingly.

  [ Regression potential ]

  We may experience networking-related regressions in systems that are
  using the iptables-netflow-dkms module.
