resurrect an old patch from Pablo Neira to remove the untracked objects.

Currently, there are four possible states of an skb wrt. conntrack.

1. No conntrack attached, ct is NULL.
2. Normal (kmem cache allocated) ct attached.
3. a template (kmalloc'd), not in any hash tables at any point in time
4. the 'untracked' conntrack, a percpu nf_conn object, tagged via
   IPS_UNTRACKED_BIT in ct->status.

Untracked is supposed to be identical to case 1.  It exists only
so users can check

-m conntrack --ctstate UNTRACKED vs.
-m conntrack --ctstate INVALID

e.g. attempts to set connmark on INVALID or UNTRACKED conntracks is
supposed to be a no-op.

Thus currently we need to check
 ct == NULL || nf_ct_is_untracked(ct)

in a lot of places in order to avoid altering untracked objects.

The other consequence of the percpu untracked object is that all
-j NOTRACK (and, later, kfree_skb of such skbs) result in an atomic op
(inc/dec the untracked conntracks refcount).

This adds a new kernel-private ctinfo state, IP_CT_UNTRACKED, to
make the distinction instead.

The (few) places that care about packet invalid (ct is NULL) vs.
packet untracked now need to test ct == NULL vs. ctinfo == IP_CT_UNTRACKED,
but all other places can omit the nf_ct_is_untracked() check.

currently aliased to try_module_get/_put.
Will be changed in next patch when we add functions to make use of ->net
argument to store usercount per l3proto tracker.

This is needed to avoid registering the conntrack hooks in all netns and
later only enable connection tracking in those that need conntrack.

NOTRACK makes all cpus share a cache line on nf_conntrack_untracked
twice per packet. This is bad for performance.
__read_mostly annotation is also a bad choice.

This patch introduces IPS_UNTRACKED bit so that we can use later a
per_cpu untrack structure more easily.

A new helper, nf_ct_untracked_get() returns a pointer to
nf_conntrack_untracked.

Another one, nf_ct_untracked_status_or() is used by nf_nat_init() to add
IPS_NAT_DONE_MASK bits to untracked status.

nf_ct_is_untracked() prototype is changed to work on a nf_conn pointer.

In future, layer-3 matches will be an xt module of their own, and
need to set the fragoff and thoff fields. Adding more pointers would
needlessy increase memory requirements (esp. so for 64-bit, where
pointers are wider).

The return value of nf_ct_l3proto_get can directly be returned even in
the case of success.

When extended status codes are available, such as ENOMEM on failed
allocations, or subsequent functions (e.g. nf_ct_get_l3proto), passing
them up to userspace seems like a good idea compared to just always
EINVAL.
