Looks mostly fine to me, just one question:

In the NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT hook skb->protocol is invalid. So if you
don't need this, it would make sense to restrict the match to the
other hooks.

Even easier would be to use par->family, which contains the address
family and doesn't need any translation.
