BH must be disabled when invoking nf_conncount_gc_list() to perform

<title>netfilter: nf_tables: allow lookups in dynamic sets</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit acab713177377d9e0889c46bac7ff0cfb9a90c4d ]

This un-breaks lookups in sets that have the 'dynamic' flag set.
Given this active example configuration:

table filter {
  set set1 {
    type ipv4_addr
    size 64
    flags dynamic,timeout
    timeout 1m
  }

  chain input {
     type filter hook input priority 0; policy accept;
  }
}

... this works:
nft add rule ip filter input add @set1 { ip saddr }

-&gt; whenever rule is triggered, the source ip address is inserted
into the set (if it did not exist).

This won't work:
nft add rule ip filter input ip saddr @set1 counter
Error: Could not process rule: Operation not supported

In other words, we can add entries to the set, but then can't make
matching decision based on that set.

That is just wrong -- all set backends support lookups (else they would
not be very useful).
The failure comes from an explicit rejection in nft_lookup.c.

Looking at the history, it seems like NFT_SET_EVAL used to mean
'set contains expressions' (aka. "is a meter"), for instance something like

 nft add rule ip filter input meter example { ip saddr limit rate 10/second }
 or
 nft add rule ip filter input meter example { ip saddr counter }

The actual meaning of NFT_SET_EVAL however, is
'set can be updated from the packet path'.

'meters' and packet-path insertions into sets, such as
'add @set { ip saddr }' use exactly the same kernel code (nft_dynset.c)
and thus require a set backend that provides the -&gt;update() function.

The only set that provides this also is the only one that has the
NFT_SET_EVAL feature flag.

Removing the wrong check makes the above example work.
While at it, also fix the flag check during set instantiation to
allow supported combinations only.

<title>netfilter: nft_fib_netdev: Terminate rule eval if protocol=IPv6 and ipv6 module is disabled</title>

If IPv6 is disabled on boot (ipv6.disable=1), but nft_fib_inet ends up
dealing with a IPv6 packet, it causes a kernel panic in
fib6_node_lookup_1(), crashing in bad_page_fault.

The panic is caused by trying to deference a very low address (0x38
in ppc64le), due to ipv6.fib6_main_tbl = NULL.
BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0x00000038

The kernel panic was reproduced in a host that disabled IPv6 on boot and
have to process guest packets (coming from a bridge) using it's ip6tables.

Terminate rule evaluation when packet protocol is IPv6 but the ipv6 module
is not loaded.

Simplify the check in physdev_mt_check() to emit an error message
only when passed an invalid chain (ie, NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT).
This avoids cluttering up the log with errors against valid rules.

For large/heavily modified rulesets, current behavior can quickly
overwhelm the ring buffer, because this function gets called on
every change, regardless of the rule that was changed.
