Several header-files, Kconfig files and Makefiles have trailing
white-space.  Remove it.

In netfilter/Kconfig, indent the type of CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK_ACCT
correctly.

There are semicolons at the end of two function definitions in
include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_acct.h and
include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_ecache.h. Remove them.

Fix indentation in nf_conntrack_l4proto.h.

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: add hardware offload support</title>

<id>c9626a2cbdb20e26587b3fad99960520a023432b</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds hardware offload support for nftables through the
existing netdev_ops-&gt;ndo_setup_tc() interface, the TC_SETUP_CLSFLOWER
classifier and the flow rule API. This hardware offload support is
available for the NFPROTO_NETDEV family and the ingress hook.

Each nftables expression has a new -&gt;offload interface, that is used to
populate the flow rule object that is attached to the transaction
object.

There is a new per-table NFT_TABLE_F_HW flag, that is set on to offload
an entire table, including all of its chains.

This patch supports for basic metadata (layer 3 and 4 protocol numbers),
5-tuple payload matching and the accept/drop actions; this also includes
basechain hardware offload only.

Add synproxy support for nf_tables. This behaves like the iptables
synproxy target but it is structured in a way that allows us to propose
improvements in the future.

very little code, so it really doesn't make sense to have extra

Merge them and make functionality available unconditionally.

Merge the ipv4 and ipv6 nat chain type. This is the last
missing piece which allows to provide inet family support
for nat in a follow patch.

The kconfig knobs for ipv4/ipv6 nat chain are removed, the
nat chain type will be built unconditionally if NFT_NAT
expression is enabled.

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.

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.
