While reading sysctl_ip_default_ttl, it can be changed concurrently.
Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its readers.

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

This is v2 including deadlock fix in conntrack ecache rework
reported by Jakub Kicinski.

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next,
mostly updates to conntrack from Florian Westphal.

1) Add a dedicated list for conntrack event redelivery.

2) Include event redelivery list in conntrack dumps of dying type.

3) Remove per-cpu dying list for event redelivery, not used anymore.

4) Add netns .pre_exit to cttimeout to zap timeout objects before
   synchronize_rcu() call.

5) Remove nf_ct_unconfirmed_destroy.

6) Add generation id for conntrack extensions for conntrack
   timeout and helpers.

7) Detach timeout policy from conntrack on cttimeout module removal.

8) Remove __nf_ct_unconfirmed_destroy.

9) Remove unconfirmed list.

10) Remove unconditional local_bh_disable in init_conntrack().

11) Consolidate conntrack iterator nf_ct_iterate_cleanup().

12) Detect if ctnetlink listeners exist to short-circuit event
    path early.

13) Un-inline nf_ct_ecache_ext_add().

14) Add nf_conntrack_events autodetect ctnetlink listener mode
    and make it default.

15) Add nf_ct_ecache_exist() to check for event cache extension.

16) Extend flowtable reverse route lookup to include source, iif,
    tos and mark, from Sven Auhagen.

17) Do not verify zero checksum UDP packets in nf_reject,
    from Kevin Mitchell.

The checksum is optional for UDP packets. However nf_reject would
previously require a valid checksum to elicit a response such as
ICMP_DEST_UNREACH.

Add some logic to nf_reject_verify_csum to determine if a UDP packet has
a zero checksum and should therefore not be verified.

<title>netfilter: nft_fib: reverse path filter for policy-based routing on iif</title>

<id>be8be04e5ddb9842d4ff2c1e4eaeec6ca801c573</id>
<content type='text'>
If policy-based routing using the iif selector is used, then the fib
expression fails to look up for the reverse path from the prerouting
hook because the input interface cannot be inferred. In order to support
this scenario, extend the fib expression to allow to use after the route
lookup, from the forward hook.

This patch also adds support for the input hook for usability reasons.
Since the prerouting hook cannot be used for the scenario described
above, users need two rules: one for the forward chain and another rule
for the input chain to check for the reverse path check for locally
targeted traffic.

Eliminate anonymous module_init() and module_exit(), which can lead to
confusion or ambiguity when reading System.map, crashes/oops/bugs,
or an initcall_debug log.

Give each of these init and exit functions unique driver-specific
names to eliminate the anonymous names.

Example 1: (System.map)
 ffffffff832fc78c t init
 ffffffff832fc79e t init
 ffffffff832fc8f8 t init

Example 2: (initcall_debug log)
 calling  init+0x0/0x12 @ 1
 initcall init+0x0/0x12 returned 0 after 15 usecs
 calling  init+0x0/0x60 @ 1
 initcall init+0x0/0x60 returned 0 after 2 usecs
 calling  init+0x0/0x9a @ 1
 initcall init+0x0/0x9a returned 0 after 74 usecs

The fib expression stores to a register, so we can't add empty stub.
Check that the register that is being written is in fact redundant.

In most cases, this is expected to cancel tracking as re-use is
unlikely.

Skip register tracking for expressions that perform read-only operations
on the registers. Define and use a cookie pointer NFT_REDUCE_READONLY to
avoid defining stubs for these expressions.

This patch re-enables register tracking which was disabled in ed5f85d42290
