Unlike ip(6)tables ebtables only counts user-defined chains.
The effect is that a 32bit ebtables binary on a 64bit kernel can do
'ebtables -N FOO' only after adding at least one rule, else the request
fails with -EINVAL.
This is a similar fix as done in
3f1e53abff84 ("netfilter: ebtables: don't attempt to allocate 0-sized compat array").
Fixes: 7d7d7e02111e9 ("netfilter: compat: reject huge allocation requests")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
