commit f3c5c1bfd4 (netfilter: xtables: make ip_tables reentrant)
introduced a performance regression, because stackptr array is shared by
all cpus, adding cache line ping pongs. (16 cpus share a 64 bytes cache
line)
Fix this using alloc_percpu()

The text describing the return codes that are expected on calls to
checkentry() was incorrect. Instead of returning true or false, or an error
code, it should return 0 or an error code.

Since xt_action_param is writable, let's use it. The pointer to
'bool hotdrop' always worried (8 bytes (64-bit) to write 1 byte!).
Surprisingly results in a reduction in size:

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 structures carried - besides match/target - almost the same data.
It is possible to combine them, as extensions are evaluated serially,
and so, the callers end up a little smaller.

There has been quite a confusion in userspace about
XT_FUNCTION_MAXNAMELEN; because struct xt_entry_match used MAX-1,
userspace would have to do an awkward MAX-2 for maximum length
checking (due to '\0'). This patch adds a new define that matches the
definition of XT_TABLE_MAXNAMELEN - being the size of the actual
struct member, not one off.

Replace the runtime oif name resolving by netdevice notifier based
resolving. When an oif is given, a netdevice notifier is registered
to resolve the name on NETDEV_REGISTER or NETDEV_CHANGE and unresolve
it again on NETDEV_UNREGISTER or NETDEV_CHANGE to a different name.

Currently, the table traverser stores return addresses in the ruleset
itself (struct ip6t_entry->comefrom). This has a well-known drawback:
the jumpstack is overwritten on reentry, making it necessary for
targets to return absolute verdicts. Also, the ruleset (which might
be heavy memory-wise) needs to be replicated for each CPU that can
possibly invoke ip6t_do_table.
This patch decouples the jumpstack from struct ip6t_entry and instead
puts it into xt_table_info. Not being restricted by 'comefrom'
anymore, we can set up a stack as needed. By default, there is room
allocated for two entries into the traverser.
arp_tables is not touched though, because there is just one/two
modules and further patches seek to collapse the table traverser
anyhow.

XT_ALIGN() was rewritten through ALIGN() by commit 42107f5009
"netfilter: xtables: symmetric COMPAT_XT_ALIGN definition".
ALIGN() is not exported in userspace headers, which created compile problem for tc(8)
and will create problem for iptables(8).
We can't export generic looking name ALIGN() but we can export less generic
__ALIGN_KERNEL() (suggested by Ben Hutchings).
Google knows nothing about __ALIGN_KERNEL().
COMPAT_XT_ALIGN() changed for symmetry.

Restore function signatures from bool to int so that we can report
memory allocation failures or similar using -ENOMEM rather than
always having to pass -EINVAL back.
This semantic patch may not be too precise (checking for functions
that use xt_mtchk_param rather than functions referenced by
xt_match.checkentry), but reviewed, it produced the intended result.

This member is taking up a "long" per match, yet is only used by one
module out of the roughly 90 modules, ip6t_hbh. ip6t_hbh can be
restructured a little to accomodate for the lack of the .data member.
This variant uses checking the par->match address, which should avoid
having to add two extra functions, including calls, i.e.
(hbh_mt6: call hbhdst_mt6(skb, par, NEXTHDR_OPT),
dst_mt6: call hbhdst_mt6(skb, par, NEXTHDR_DEST))

One of the problems with the way xt_recent is implemented is that
there is no efficient way to remove expired entries. Of course,
one can write a rule '-m recent --remove', but you have to know
beforehand which entry to delete. This commit adds reaper
logic which checks the head of the LRU list when a rule
is invoked that has a '--seconds' value and XT_RECENT_REAP set. If an
entry ceases to accumulate time stamps, then it will eventually bubble
to the top of the LRU list where it is then reaped.

Two arguments for combining the two:
- xt_mark is pretty useless without xt_MARK
- the actual code is so small anyway that the kmod metadata and the module
in its loaded state totally outweighs the combined actual code size.
