Add code to nf_unregister_hook to flush the nf_queue when a hook is
unregistered.  This guarantees that the pointer that the nf_queue code
retains into the nf_hook list will remain valid while a packet is
queued.

I tested what would happen if we do not flush queued packets and was
trivially able to obtain the oops below.  All that was required was
to stop the nf_queue listening process, to delete all of the nf_tables,
and to awaken the nf_queue listening process.

Currenlty nf_tables chains added in one network namespace are being
run in all network namespace.  The issues are myriad with the simplest
being an unprivileged user can cause any network packets to be dropped.

Address this by simply not running nf_tables chains in the wrong
network namespace.

<title>netfilter: use forward declaration instead of including linux/proc_fs.h</title>

We don't need to pull the full definitions in that file, a simple forward
declaration is enough.

Moreover, include linux/procfs.h from nf_synproxy_core, otherwise this hits a
compilation error due to missing declarations, ie.

net/netfilter/nf_synproxy_core.c: In function ‘synproxy_proc_init’:
net/netfilter/nf_synproxy_core.c:326:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘proc_create’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  if (!proc_create("synproxy", S_IRUGO, net-&gt;proc_net_stat,

xt_socket is useful for matching sockets with IP_TRANSPARENT and
taking some action on the matching packets. However, it lacks the
ability to match only a small subset of transparent sockets.

Suppose there are 2 applications, each with its own set of transparent
sockets. The first application wants all matching packets dropped,
while the second application wants them forwarded somewhere else.

Add the ability to retore the skb-&gt;mark from the sk_mark. The mark
is only restored if a matching socket is found and the transparent /
nowildcard conditions are satisfied.

Now the 2 hypothetical applications can differentiate their sockets
based on a mark value set with SO_MARK.

iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -m socket --transparent \
                                           --restore-skmark -j action
iptables -t mangle -A action -m mark --mark 10 -j action2
iptables -t mangle -A action -m mark --mark 11 -j action3

This patch adds an additional attribute when sending

It will send additional security context data, so that
userspace applications can verify this context against

In case the net_device is gone, we have to unregister the hooks and put back
the reference on the net_device object. Once it comes back, register them
again. This also covers the device rename case.

This patch also adds a new flag to indicate that the basechain is disabled, so
their hooks are not registered. This flag is used by the netdev family to
handle the case where the net_device object is gone. Currently this flag is not
exposed to userspace.

The device is part of the hook configuration, so instead of a global
configuration per table, set it to each of the basechain that we create.

This patch reworks ebddf1a8d78a ("netfilter: nf_tables: allow to bind table to
net_device").

Note that this adds a dev_name field in the nft_base_chain structure which is
required the netdev notification subscription that follows up in a patch to
handle gone net_devices.

After Florian patches, there is no need for XT_TABLE_INFO_SZ anymore :
Only one copy of table is kept, instead of one copy per cpu.

We also can avoid a dereference if we put table data right after
xt_table_info. It reduces register pressure and helps compiler.

Then, we attempt a kmalloc() if total size is under order-3 allocation,
to reduce TLB pressure, as in many cases, rules fit in 32 KB.
