[Buildroot] [PATCH] norm: fix build failure with old headers

The version check for the nfq_get_payload prototype is wrong since it's
done against linux headers when in fact it changed with the 1.0.0
release of libnetfilter_queue, leading to build failure in toolchains
that have old headers when libnetfilter_queue is present. Fixes:

+The char * to unsigned char * change happened for the libnetfilter_queue
+1.0.0 release, not the linux headers.
+So drop the linux headers version check since it causes more harm than
+good by trying the old API when the toolchain uses old linux headers
+with a new-enough libnetfilter_queue.
