This reverts commit 870190a9ec9075205c0fa795a09fa931694a3ff1.

It was not a good idea. The custom hash table was a much better
fit for this purpose.

A fast lookup is not essential, in fact for most cases there is no lookup
at all because original tuple is not taken and can be used as-is.
What needs to be fast is insertion and deletion.

rhlist removal however requires a rhlist walk.
We can have thousands of entries in such a list if source port/addresses
are reused for multiple flows, if this happens removal requests are so
expensive that deletions of a few thousand flows can take several
seconds(!).

The advantages that we got from rhashtable are:
1) table auto-sizing
2) multiple locks

1) would be nice to have, but it is not essential as we have at
most one lookup per new flow, so even a million flows in the bysource
table are not a problem compared to current deletion cost.
2) is easy to add to custom hash table.

I tried to add hlist_node to rhlist to speed up rhltable_remove but this
isn't doable without changing semantics.  rhltable_remove_fast will
check that the to-be-deleted object is part of the table and that
requires a list walk that we want to avoid.

Furthermore, using hlist_node increases size of struct rhlist_head, which
in turn increases nf_conn size.

This patch removes CONFIG_NETFILTER_DEBUG and _ASSERT() macros as they
are no longer required. Replace _ASSERT() macros with WARN_ON().

This patch adds support for overloading stateful objects operations
through the select_ops() callback, just as it is implemented for
expressions.

This change is needed for upcoming additions to the stateful objects
infrastructure.

This converts the storage and layout of netfilter hook entries from a
linked list to an array.  After this commit, hook entries will be
stored adjacent in memory.  The next pointer is no longer required.

The ops pointers are stored at the end of the array as they are only
used in the register/unregister path and in the legacy br_netfilter code.

nf_unregister_net_hooks() is slower than needed as it just calls
nf_unregister_net_hook in a loop (i.e. at least n synchronize_net()
calls), this will be addressed in followup patch.

Test setup:
 - ixgbe 10gbit
 - netperf UDP_STREAM, 64 byte packets
 - 5 hooks: (raw + mangle prerouting, mangle+filter input, inet filter):
empty mangle and raw prerouting, mangle and filter input hooks:

CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_PROCFS is deprecated, no need to use a function
pointer in the trackers for this. Place the printf formatting in
the one place that uses it.
