A subsequent patch will add a new multipath hash policy where the packet
fields used for multipath hash calculation are determined by user space.
This patch adds a sysctl that allows user space to set these fields.
The packet fields are represented using a bitmask and are common between
IPv4 and IPv6 to allow user space to use the same numbering across both
protocols. For example, to hash based on standard 5-tuple:
# sysctl -w net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x0037
net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields = 0x0037
To avoid introducing holes in 'struct netns_sysctl_ipv6', move the
'bindv6only' field after the multipath hash fields.
The kernel rejects unknown fields, for example:
# sysctl -w net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x1000
sysctl: setting key "net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields": Invalid argument

No longer needed, table pointer arg is now passed via netfilter core.

ebtables stores the table internal data (what gets passed to the
ebt_do_table() interpreter) in struct net.
nftables keeps the internal interpreter format in pernet lists
and passes it via the netfilter core infrastructure (priv pointer).
Do the same for ebtables: the nf_hook_ops are duplicated via kmemdup,
then the ops->priv pointer is set to the table that is being registered.
After that, the netfilter core passes this table info to the hookfn.
This allows to remove the pointers from struct net.
Same pattern can be applied to ip/ip6/arptables.

log_invalid sysctl allows values of 0 to 255 inclusive so we no longer
need a range check: the min/max values can be removed.
This also removes all member variables that were moved to net_generic
data in previous patches.
This reduces size of netns_ct struct by one cache line.

Netfilter updates for net-next
The following batch contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next tree:
1) Simplify log infrastructure modularity: Merge ipv4, ipv6, bridge,
netdev and ARP families to nf_log_syslog.c. Add module softdeps.
This fixes a rare deadlock condition that might occur when log
module autoload is required. From Florian Westphal.
2) Moves part of netfilter related pernet data from struct net to
net_generic() infrastructure. All of these users can be modules,
so if they are not loaded there is no need to waste space. Size
reduction is 7 cachelines on x86_64, also from Florian.
2) Update nftables audit support to report events once per table,
to get it aligned with iptables. From Richard Guy Briggs.
3) Check for stale routes from the flowtable garbage collector path.
This is fixing IPv6 which breaks due missing check for the dst_cookie.
4) Add a nfnl_fill_hdr() function to simplify netlink + nfnetlink
headers setup.
5) Remove documentation on several statified functions.
6) Remove printk on netns creation for the FTP IPVS tracker,
from Florian Westphal.
7) Remove unnecessary nf_tables_destroy_list_lock spinlock
initialization, from Yang Yingliang.
7) Remove a duplicated forward declaration in ipset,
from Wan Jiabing.

Order fields to increase locality for most used protocols.
udplite and icmp are moved at the end.
Same for proc_net_devsnmp6 which is not used in fast path.
This potentially saves one cache line miss for typical TCP/UDP over IPv4/IPv6.

By shuffling around some fields to remove 8 bytes of hole,
we can save one cache line.

struct inet_timewait_death_row uses two cache lines, because we want
tw_count to use a full cache line to avoid false sharing.
Rework its definition and placement in netns_ipv4 so that:
1) We add 60 bytes of padding after tw_count to avoid
false sharing, knowing that tcp_death_row will
have ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp attribute.
2) We do not risk padding before tcp_death_row, because
we move it at the beginning of netns_ipv4, even if new
fields are added later.
3) We do not waste 48 bytes of padding after it.
Note that I have not changed dccp.

Many tcp sysctls are either bools or small ints that can fit into u8.
Reducing space taken by sysctls can save few cache line misses
when sending/receiving data while cpu caches are empty,
for example after cpu idle period.
This is hard to measure with typical network performance tests,
but after this patch, struct netns_ipv4 has shrunk
by three cache lines.
