All users pass a NULL/0 for those, things haven't changed since 2015 when this was added originally, so remove the arguments. THe paramters are re-added as local function variables, initalised to NULL or 0. A followup patch can then manually remove all if (NULL) rather than leaving dead-branch optimization to compiler. Reason for not doing it here is to ease patch review. Not requiring support for this will ease initial nftables backend implementation. In case a use-case comues up later this feature can be re-added.
