Compatibility with 4.5 Kernel => Fixed in SVN

[Salz]

Compiling the host modules fails if CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT is set with:

  CC [M]  /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.0.18/build/vboxnetflt/linux/VBoxNetFlt-linux.o

This is due to a change in the kernel headers in 4.5: ​https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=fdc5432

The appended patch fixes compilation on linux 4.5

Thanks! Fix will be part of the next 5.0 maintenance release.

Fixed in 5.0.20.
