Root Cause:

After kernel version 3.13.x, the definition of netfilter hook function (nf_hookfn) has been changed.

 40 /* Largest hook number + 1 */
 41 #define NF_MAX_HOOKS 8
 42 
 43 struct sk_buff;
 44 
 45 struct nf_hook_ops;
 46 typedef unsigned int nf_hookfn(const struct nf_hook_ops *ops,
 47                                struct sk_buff *skb,
 48                                const struct net_device *in,
 49                                const struct net_device *out,
 50                                int (*okfn)(struct sk_buff *));
 51 
 52 struct nf_hook_ops {
 53         struct list_head list;
 54 
 55         /* User fills in from here down. */
 56         nf_hookfn       *hook;
 57         struct module   *owner;
 58         void            *priv;
 59         u_int8_t        pf;
 60         unsigned int    hooknum;
 61         /* Hooks are ordered in ascending priority. */
 62         int             priority;
 63 };
 64

Solution:

Use the following patch to correct this error:
