In the 'default' branch is an assert(false);  Call it defensive programming.

As the comment says: "Shamelessly copied from libxt_conntrack.c". ;)

Furthermore I think it is good that way, because
xtables_ipaddr_to_numeric writes to a local static buffer, and
xtables_ipaddr_to_numeric might get called by
xtables_ipmask_to_numeric.
