This patch introduces netfilter hooks for solving the problem that
conntrack couldn't record both inner flows and outer flows.

This patch also introduces a new sysctl toggle for enabling lightweight
tunnel netfilter hooks.

Reuse the conntrack event notofier struct, this allows to remove the
extra register/unregister functions and avoids a pointer in struct net.

This prepares for merge for ct and exp notifier structs.

The 'fcn' member is renamed to something unique.
Second, the register/unregister api is simplified.  There is only
one implementation so there is no need to do any error checking.

Replace the EBUSY logic with WARN_ON_ONCE.  This allows to remove
error unwinding.

The exp notifier register/unregister function is removed in
a followup patch.

nf_conntrack_eventmask_report and nf_ct_deliver_cached_events shared
most of their code.  This unifies the layout by changing

 if (nf_ct_is_confirmed(ct)) {
   foo
 }

 to
 if (!nf_ct_is_confirmed(ct)))
   return
 foo

This removes one level of indentation.

This was done to detect when the pernet-&gt;init() function was not called
yet, by checking if net-&gt;nf.queue_handler is NULL.

Once the nfnetlink_queue module is active, all struct net pointers
contain the same address.  So place this back in nf_queue.c.

Handle the 'netns error unwind' test by checking nfnl_queue_net for a
NULL pointer and add a comment for this.

<title>netfilter: conntrack: nf_ct_gre_keymap_flush() removal</title>

nf_ct_gre_keymap_flush() is useless.
It is called from nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list() only and tries to remove
nf_ct_gre_keymap entries from pernet gre keymap list. Though:
a) at this point the list should already be empty, all its entries were
deleted during the conntracks cleanup, because
nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list() executes nf_ct_iterate_cleanup(kill_all)
before nf_conntrack_proto_pernet_fini():
 nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list
  +- nf_ct_iterate_cleanup
  |   nf_ct_put
  |    nf_conntrack_put
  |     nf_conntrack_destroy
  |      destroy_conntrack
  |       destroy_gre_conntrack
  |        nf_ct_gre_keymap_destroy
  `- nf_conntrack_proto_pernet_fini
      nf_ct_gre_keymap_flush

b) Let's say we find that the keymap list is not empty. This means netns
still has a conntrack associated with gre, in which case we should not free
its memory, because this will lead to a double free and related crashes.
However I doubt it could have gone unnoticed for years, obviously
this does not happen in real life. So I think we can remove
both nf_ct_gre_keymap_flush() and nf_conntrack_proto_pernet_fini().

The packet logger backend is unable to provide the incoming (or
outgoing) interface name because that information isn't available.

Pass the hook state, it contains the network namespace, the protocol
family, the network interfaces and other things.

====================
Netfilter updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next:

1) Add nfgenmsg field to nfnetlink's struct nfnl_info and use it.

2) Remove nft_ctx_init_from_elemattr() and nft_ctx_init_from_setattr()
   helper functions.

3) Add the nf_ct_pernet() helper function to fetch the conntrack
   pernetns data area.

4) Expose TCP and UDP flowtable offload timeouts through sysctl,
   from Oz Shlomo.

5) Add nfnetlink_hook subsystem to fetch the netfilter hook
   pipeline configuration, from Florian Westphal. This also includes
   a new field to annotate the hook type as metadata.

6) Fix unsafe memory access to non-linear skbuff in the new SCTP
   chunk support for nft_exthdr, from Phil Sutter.
