This converts the storage and layout of netfilter hook entries from a
linked list to an array. After this commit, hook entries will be
stored adjacent in memory. The next pointer is no longer required.
The ops pointers are stored at the end of the array as they are only
used in the register/unregister path and in the legacy br_netfilter code.
nf_unregister_net_hooks() is slower than needed as it just calls
nf_unregister_net_hook in a loop (i.e. at least n synchronize_net()
calls), this will be addressed in followup patch.
Test setup:
- ixgbe 10gbit
- netperf UDP_STREAM, 64 byte packets

nf_unregister_net_hook(s) can avoid a second call to synchronize_net,
provided there is no nfqueue active in that net namespace (which is
the common case).
This also gets rid of the extra arg to nf_queue_nf_hook_drop(), normally
this gets called during netns cleanup so no packets should be queued.
For the rare case of base chain being unregistered or module removal
while nfqueue is in use the extra hiccup due to the packet drops isn't
a big deal.

synchronize_net is expensive and slows down netns cleanup a lot.
We have two APIs to unregister a hook:
nf_unregister_net_hook (which calls synchronize_net())
and
nf_unregister_net_hooks (calls nf_unregister_net_hook in a loop)
Make nf_unregister_net_hook a wapper around new helper
__nf_unregister_net_hook, which unlinks the hook but does not free it.
Then, we can call that helper in nf_unregister_net_hooks and then
call synchronize_net() only once.

After this change conntrack operations (lookup, creation, matching from
ruleset) only access one instead of two sk_buff cache lines.
This works for normal conntracks because those are allocated from a slab
that guarantees hw cacheline or 8byte alignment (whatever is larger)
so the 3 bits needed for ctinfo won't overlap with nf_conn addresses.
Template allocation now does manual address alignment (see previous change)
on arches that don't have sufficent kmalloc min alignment.
Some spots intentionally use skb->_nfct instead of skb_nfct() helpers,
this is to avoid undoing the skb_nfct() use when we remove untracked
conntrack object in the future.

However, we still need nf_iterate() around for nf_queue packet handling,

nf_queue handling is broken since e3b37f11e6 ("netfilter: replace
list_head with single linked list") for two reasons:
1) If the bypass flag is set on, there are no userspace listeners and
we still have more hook entries to iterate over, then jump to the
next hook. Otherwise accept the packet. On nf_reinject() path, the
okfn() needs to be invoked.
2) We should not re-enter the same hook on packet reinjection. If the
packet is accepted, we have to skip the current hook from where the
packet was enqueued, otherwise the packets gets enqueued over and
over again.
This restores the previous list_for_each_entry_continue() behaviour
happening from nf_iterate() that was dealing with these two cases.
This patch introduces a new nf_queue() wrapper function so this fix
becomes simpler.

cpu1 calls nf_queue_nf_hook_drop to remove this entry:
cpu2: receive verdict from userspace, lock queue

The original intention was to avoid dependencies between nfnetlink_queue and
conntrack without ifdef pollution. However, we can achieve this by moving the
conntrack dependent code into ctnetlink and keep some glue code to access the
nfq_ct indirection from nfqueue.
After this patch, the nfq_ct indirection is always compiled in the netfilter
core to avoid polluting nfqueue with ifdefs. Thus, if nf_conntrack is not
compiled this results in only 8-bytes of memory waste in x86_64.
This patch also adds ctnetlink_nfqueue_seqadj() to avoid that the nf_conn
structure layout if exposed to nf_queue, which creates another dependency with
nf_conntrack at compilation time.

Given that configurations exist where we have a built-in part, which is
accessing nf_ct_zone_dflt such as the two handlers nf_ct_defrag_user()
and nf_ct6_defrag_user(), and a part that configures nf_conntrack as a
module, we must move nf_ct_zone_dflt into a fixed, guaranteed built-in
area when netfilter is configured in general.
Therefore, split the more generic parts into a common header under
include/linux/netfilter/ and move nf_ct_zone_dflt into the built-in
section that already holds parts related to CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK in the
netfilter core. This fixes the issue on my side.

- Add a new set of functions for registering and unregistering per
network namespace hooks.
- Modify the old global namespace hook functions to use the per
network namespace hooks in their implementation, so their remains a
single list that needs to be walked for any hook (this is important
for keeping the hook priority working and for keeping the code
walking the hooks simple).
- Only allow registering the per netdevice hooks in the network
namespace where the network device lives.
- Dynamically allocate the structures in the per network namespace
hook list in nf_register_net_hook, and unregister them in
nf_unregister_net_hook.
Dynamic allocate is required somewhere as the number of network
namespaces are not fixed so we might as well allocate them in the
registration function.
The chain of registered hooks on any list is expected to be small so
the cost of walking that list to find the entry we are unregistering
should also be small.
Performing the management of the dynamically allocated list entries
in the registration and unregistration functions keeps the complexity
from spreading.

I can see gcc gets the code under the ingress static key out of the hot path.
Then, on that cold branch, it generates the code to accomodate the netfilter

on the instruction cache for non-users as the new code is out of the hot path,
and it comes with minimal impact for tc ingress users.
