There are two nat functions are nearly the same in both OVS and
TC code, (ovs_)ct_nat_execute() and ovs_ct_nat/tcf_ct_act_nat().

This patch creates nf_nat_ovs.c under netfilter and moves them
there then exports nf_ct_nat() so that it can be shared by both
OVS and TC, and keeps the nat (type) check and nat flag update
in OVS and TC's own place, as these parts are different between
OVS and TC.

Note that in OVS nat function it was using skb-&gt;protocol to get
the proto as it already skips vlans in key_extract(), while it
doesn't in TC, and TC has to call skb_protocol() to get proto.
So in nf_ct_nat_execute(), we keep using skb_protocol() which
works for both OVS and TC contrack.

<title>openvswitch: return NF_DROP when fails to add nat ext in ovs_ct_nat</title>

When it fails to allocate nat ext, the packet should be dropped, like
the memory allocation failures in other places in ovs_ct_nat().

This patch changes to return NF_DROP when fails to add nat ext before
doing NAT in ovs_ct_nat(), also it would keep consistent with tc
action ct' processing in tcf_ct_act_nat().

<title>openvswitch: return NF_ACCEPT when OVS_CT_NAT is not set in info nat</title>

Either OVS_CT_SRC_NAT or OVS_CT_DST_NAT is set, OVS_CT_NAT must be
set in info-&gt;nat. Thus, if OVS_CT_NAT is not set in info-&gt;nat, it
will definitely not do NAT but returns NF_ACCEPT in ovs_ct_nat().

This patch changes nothing funcational but only makes this return
earlier in ovs_ct_nat() to keep consistent with TC's processing
in tcf_ct_act_nat().

<title>openvswitch: delete the unncessary skb_pull_rcsum call in ovs_ct_nat_execute</title>

The calls to ovs_ct_nat_execute() are as below:

  ovs_ct_execute()
    ovs_ct_lookup()
      __ovs_ct_lookup()
        ovs_ct_nat()
          ovs_ct_nat_execute()
    ovs_ct_commit()
      __ovs_ct_lookup()
        ovs_ct_nat()
          ovs_ct_nat_execute()

and since skb_pull_rcsum() and skb_push_rcsum() are already
called in ovs_ct_execute(), there's no need to do it again
in ovs_ct_nat_execute().

of nf_ct_is_confirmed before asigning the helper. This patch is to fix
it by bringing it back.

Similar to the previous commit, the Netlink interface of the OVS
conntrack module was restricted to global CAP_NET_ADMIN by using
GENL_ADMIN_PERM. This is changed to GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM to support
unprivileged containers in non-initial user namespace.
