This patch moves the helper destruction to a function that lives
in nf_conntrack_helper.c. This new function is used in the patch
to add ctnetlink reliable event delivery.

Commit ea781f197d (netfilter: nf_conntrack: use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and)
get rid of call_rcu() was missing one conversion to the hlist_nulls
functions, causing a crash when unloading conntrack helper modules.

Use "hlist_nulls" infrastructure we added in 2.6.29 for RCUification of UDP & TCP.
This permits an easy conversion from call_rcu() based hash lists to a
SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU one.
Avoiding call_rcu() delay at nf_conn freeing time has numerous gains.
First, it doesnt fill RCU queues (up to 10000 elements per cpu).
This reduces OOM possibility, if queued elements are not taken into account
This reduces latency problems when RCU queue size hits hilimit and triggers
emergency mode.
- It allows fast reuse of just freed elements, permitting better use of
CPU cache.
- We delete rcu_head from "struct nf_conn", shrinking size of this structure
by 8 or 16 bytes.
This patch only takes care of "struct nf_conn".
call_rcu() is still used for less critical conntrack parts, that may
be converted later if necessary.

This patch adds module loading for helpers via ctnetlink.
* Creation path: We support explicit and implicit helper assignation. For
the explicit case, we try to load the module. If the module is correctly
loaded and the helper is present, we return EAGAIN to re-start the
creation. Otherwise, we return EOPNOTSUPP.
* Update path: release the spin lock, load the module and check. If it is
present, then return EAGAIN to re-start the update.
This patch provides a refactorized function to lookup-and-set the
connection tracking helper. The function removes the exported symbol
__nf_ct_helper_find as it has not clients anymore.

Make per-netns a) expectation hash and b) expectations count.
Expectations always belongs to netns to which it's master conntrack belong.
This is natural and doesn't bloat expectation.
Proc files and leaf users are stubbed to init_net, this is temporary.

* make per-netns conntrack hash
Other solution is to add ->ct_net pointer to tuplehashes and still has one
hash, I tried that it's ugly and requires more code deep down in protocol
modules et al.
* propagate netns pointer to where needed, e. g. to conntrack iterators.

Introduce expectation classes and policies. An expectation class
is used to distinguish different types of expectations by the
same helper (for example audio/video/t.120). The expectation
policy is used to hold the maximum number of expectations and
the initial timeout for each class.
The individual classes are isolated from each other, which means
that for example an audio expectation will only evict other audio
expectations.

This patch brings back the per-conntrack expectation list that was
removed around 2.6.10 to avoid walking all expectations on expectation
eviction and conntrack destruction.
As these were the last users of the global expectation list, this patch
also kills that.

Since conntrack currently allows to use masks for every bit of both
helper and expectation tuples, we can't hash them and have to keep
them on two global lists that are searched for every new connection.
This patch removes the never used ability to use masks for the
destination part of the expectation tuple and completely removes
masks from helpers since the only reasonable choice is a full
match on l3num, protonum and src.u.all.

Convert conntrack hash to hlists to reduce its size and cache
footprint. Since the default hashsize to max. entries ratio
sucks (1:16), this patch doesn't reduce the amount of memory
used for the hash by default, but instead uses a better ratio
of 1:8, which results in the same max. entries value.
One thing worth noting is early_drop. It really should use LRU,
so it now has to iterate over the entire chain to find the last
unconfirmed entry. Since chains shouldn't be very long and the
entire operation is very rare this shouldn't be a problem.

When a helper module is unloaded all conntracks refering to it have their
helper pointer NULLed out, leading to lots of races. In most places this
can be fixed by proper use of RCU (they do already check for != NULL,
but in a racy way), additionally nf_conntrack_expect_related needs to
bail out when no helper is present.
Also remove two paranoid BUG_ONs in nf_conntrack_proto_gre that are racy
and not worth fixing.

Some helpers (namely H.323) manually assign further helpers to expected
connections. This is not possible with nf_conntrack anymore since we
need to know whether a helper is used at allocation time.
Handle the helper assignment centrally, which allows to perform the
correct allocation and as a nice side effect eliminates the need
for the H.323 helper to fiddle with nf_conntrack_lock.
Mid term the allocation scheme really needs to be redesigned since
we do both the helper and expectation lookup _twice_ for every new
connection.
