This patch corrects the mismatch by changing the return value to "int", which happens to match the actual users of nft_parse_u32_check already. Found by Coverity, CID 1373930. Note that commit 21a9e0f1568ea ("netfilter: nft_exthdr: fix error handling in nft_exthdr_init()) attempted to address the issue, but did not address the return type of nft_parse_u32_check.
