This removes the (now empty) nf_nat_l4proto struct, all its instances
and all the no longer needed runtime (un)register functionality.

nf_nat_need_gre() can be axed as well: the module that calls it (to
load the no-longer-existing nat_gre module) also calls other nat core
functions. GRE nat is now always available if kernel is built with it.

<content type='text'>
This removes the last l4proto indirection, the two callers, the l3proto
packet mangling helpers for ipv4 and ipv6, now call the
nf_nat_l4proto_manip_pkt() helper.

nf_nat_proto_{dccp,tcp,sctp,gre,icmp,icmpv6} are left behind, even though
they contain no functionality anymore to not clutter this patch.

Next patch will remove the empty files and the nf_nat_l4proto
struct.

nf_nat_proto_udp.c is renamed to nf_nat_proto.c, as it now contains the
other nat manip functionality as well, not just udp and udplite.

all protocols did set this to nf_nat_l4proto_nlattr_to_range, so
just call it directly.

The important difference is that we'll now also call it for
protocols that we don't support (i.e., nf_nat_proto_unknown did
not provide .nlattr_to_range).

However, there should be no harm, even icmp provided this callback.
If we don't implement a specific l4nat for this, nothing would make
use of this information, so adding a big switch/case construct listing
all supported l4protocols seems a bit pointless.

This change leaves a single function pointer in the l4proto struct.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: Add native tproxy support</title>

A great portion of the code is taken from xt_TPROXY.c

There are some changes compared to the iptables implementation:
 - tproxy statement is not terminal here
 - Either address or port has to be specified, but at least one of them
   is necessary. If one of them is not specified, the evaluation will be
   performed with the original attribute of the packet (ie. target port
   is not specified =&gt; the packet's dport will be used).

To make this work in inet tables, the tproxy structure has a family
member (typically called priv-&gt;family) which is not necessarily equal to
ctx-&gt;family.

priv-&gt;family can have three values legally:
 - NFPROTO_IPV4 if the table family is ip OR if table family is inet,
   but an ipv4 address is specified as a target address. The rule only
   evaluates ipv4 packets in this case.
 - NFPROTO_IPV6 if the table family is ip6 OR if table family is inet,
   but an ipv6 address is specified as a target address. The rule only
   evaluates ipv6 packets in this case.
 - NFPROTO_UNSPEC if the table family is inet AND if only the port is
   specified. The rule will evaluate both ipv4 and ipv6 packets.

====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next
tree:

1) No need to set ttl from reject action for the bridge family, from
   Taehee Yoo.

2) Use a fixed timeout for flow that are passed up from the flowtable
   to conntrack, from Florian Westphal.

3) More preparation patches for tproxy support for nf_tables, from Mate
   Eckl.

4) Remove unnecessary indirection in core IPv6 checksum function, from
   Florian Westphal.

5) Use nf_ct_get_tuplepr() from openvswitch, instead of opencoding it.
   From Florian Westphal.

6) socket match now selects socket infrastructure, instead of depending
   on it. From Mate Eckl.

7) Patch series to simplify conntrack tuple building/parsing from packet
   path and ctnetlink, from Florian Westphal.

8) Fetch timeout policy from protocol helpers, instead of doing it from
   core, from Florian Westphal.

9) Merge IPv4 and IPv6 protocol trackers into conntrack core, from
   Florian Westphal.

10) Depend on CONFIG_NF_TABLES_IPV6 and CONFIG_IP6_NF_IPTABLES
    respectively, instead of IPV6. Patch from Mate Eckl.

11) Add specific function for garbage collection in conncount,
    from Yi-Hung Wei.

12) Catch number of elements in the connlimit list, from Yi-Hung Wei.

13) Move locking to nf_conncount, from Yi-Hung Wei.

14) Series of patches to add lockless tree traversal in nf_conncount,
    from Yi-Hung Wei.

15) Resolve clash in matching conntracks when race happens, from
    Martynas Pumputis.

16) If connection entry times out, remove template entry from the
    ip_vs_conn_tab table to improve behaviour under flood, from
    Julian Anastasov.

17) Remove useless parameter from nf_ct_helper_ext_add(), from Gao feng.

18) Call abort from 2-phase commit protocol before requesting modules,
    make sure this is done under the mutex, from Florian Westphal.

19) Grab module reference when starting transaction, also from Florian.

20) Dynamically allocate expression info array for pre-parsing, from
    Florian.

21) Add per netns mutex for nf_tables, from Florian Westphal.

22) A couple of patches to simplify and refactor nf_osf code to prepare
    for nft_osf support.

23) Break evaluation on missing socket, from Mate Eckl.

24) Allow to match socket mark from nft_socket, from Mate Eckl.

25) Remove dependency on nf_defrag_ipv6, now that IPv6 tracker is
    built-in into nf_conntrack. From Florian Westphal.

This unifies ipv4 and ipv6 protocol trackers and removes the l3proto
abstraction.

This gets rid of all l3proto indirect calls and the need to do
a lookup on the function to call for l3 demux.

It increases module size by only a small amount (12kbyte), so this reduces
size because nf_conntrack.ko is useless without either nf_conntrack_ipv4
or nf_conntrack_ipv6 module.
