This pulls the full hook netfilter definitions from all those that include
net_namespace.h.

Instead let's just include the bare minimum required in the new
linux/netfilter_defs.h file, and use it from the netfilter netns header files.

I also needed to include in.h and in6.h from linux/netfilter.h otherwise we hit
this compilation error:

In file included from include/linux/netfilter_defs.h:4:0,
                 from include/net/netns/netfilter.h:4,

include/uapi/linux/netfilter.h:76:17: error: field ‘in’ has incomplete type struct in_addr in;

And also explicit include linux/netfilter.h in several spots.

<title>netfilter: add netfilter ingress hook after handle_ing() under unique static key</title>

This patch adds the Netfilter ingress hook just after the existing tc ingress
hook, that seems to be the consensus solution for this.

Note that the Netfilter hook resides under the global static key that enables
ingress filtering. Nonetheless, Netfilter still also has its own static key for
minimal impact on the existing handle_ing().

Note that the results are very similar before and after.

I can see gcc gets the code under the ingress static key out of the hot path.
Then, on that cold branch, it generates the code to accomodate the netfilter
ingress static key. My explanation for this is that this reduces the pressure
on the instruction cache for non-users as the new code is out of the hot path,
and it comes with minimal impact for tc ingress users.

Architecture:          x86_64
CPU op-mode(s):        32-bit, 64-bit
Byte Order:            Little Endian

On the output paths in particular, we have to sometimes deal with two
socket contexts.  First, and usually skb-&gt;sk, is the local socket that
generated the frame.

And second, is potentially the socket used to control a tunneling
socket, such as one the encapsulates using UDP.

We do not want to disassociate skb-&gt;sk when encapsulating in order
to fix this, because that would break socket memory accounting.

The most extreme case where this can cause huge problems is an
AF_PACKET socket transmitting over a vxlan device.  We hit code
paths doing checks that assume they are dealing with an ipv4
socket, but are actually operating upon the AF_PACKET one.

It is currently always set to NULL, but nf_queue is adjusted to be
prepared for it being set to a real socket by taking and releasing a
reference to that socket when necessary.

This way we can consolidate where we setup new nf_hook_state objects,
to make sure the entire thing is initialized.

The only other place an nf_hook_object is instantiated is nf_queue,
wherein a structure copy is used.

Pass the nf_hook_state all the way down into the hook
functions themselves.

Instead of passing a large number of arguments down into the nf_hook()
entry points, create a structure which carries this state down through
the hook processing layers.

This makes is so that if we want to change the types or signatures of
any of these pieces of state, there are less places that need to be
changed.
