Pablo Neira Ayuso 280f37afa2 netfilter: xt_cluster: fix use of cluster match with 32 nodes
This patch fixes a problem when you use 32 nodes in the cluster
match:

% iptables -I PREROUTING -t mangle -i eth0 -m cluster \
  --cluster-total-nodes  32  --cluster-local-node  32 \
  --cluster-hash-seed 0xdeadbeef -j MARK --set-mark 0xffff
iptables: Invalid argument. Run `dmesg' for more information.
% dmesg | tail -1
xt_cluster: this node mask cannot be higher than the total number of nodes

The problem is related to this checking:

if (info->node_mask >= (1 << info->total_nodes)) {
	printk(KERN_ERR "xt_cluster: this node mask cannot be "
			"higher than the total number of nodes\n");
	return false;
}

(1 << 32) is 1. Thus, the checking fails.

BTW, I said this before but I insist: I have only tested the cluster
match with 2 nodes getting ~45% extra performance in an active-active setup.
The maximum limit of 32 nodes is still completely arbitrary. I'd really
appreciate if people that have more nodes in their setups let me know.
