Netfilter traditionally uses BSD integer types in its
interface headers. This changes it to use the Linux
strict integer types, like everyone else.

<title>netfilter: ctnetlink: remove bogus module dependency between ctnetlink and nf_nat</title>

<id>e6a7d3c04f8fe49099521e6dc9a46b0272381f2f</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch removes the module dependency between ctnetlink and
nf_nat by means of an indirect call that is initialized when
nf_nat is loaded. Now, nf_conntrack_netlink only requires
nf_conntrack and nfnetlink.

This patch puts nfnetlink_parse_nat_setup_hook into the
nf_conntrack_core to avoid dependencies between ctnetlink,
nf_conntrack_ipv4 and nf_conntrack_ipv6.

This patch also introduces the function ctnetlink_change_nat
that is only invoked from the creation path. Actually, the
nat handling cannot be invoked from the update path since
this is not allowed. By introducing this function, we remove
the useless nat handling in the update path and we avoid
deadlock-prone code.

This patch also adds the required EAGAIN logic for nfnetlink.

<title>[NETLINK]: Remove error pointer from netlink message handler</title>

<content type='text'>
The error pointer argument in netlink message handlers is used
to signal the special case where processing has to be interrupted
because a dump was started but no error happened. Instead it is
simpler and more clear to return -EINTR and have netlink_run_queue()
deal with getting the queue right.

nfnetlink passed on this error pointer to its subsystem handlers
but only uses it to signal the start of a netlink dump. Therefore
it can be removed there as well.

This patch also cleans up the error handling in the affected
message handlers to be consistent since it had to be touched anyway.
