netfilter: propagate net to nf_bridge_get_physindev

This is a preparation patch for replacing physindev with physinif on
nf_bridge_info structure. We will use dev_get_by_index_rcu to resolve
device, when needed, and it requires net to be available.

netfilter: xt_physdev: Fix spurious error message in physdev_mt_check

Simplify the check in physdev_mt_check() to emit an error message
only when passed an invalid chain (ie, NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT).
This avoids cluttering up the log with errors against valid rules.

For large/heavily modified rulesets, current behavior can quickly
overwhelm the ring buffer, because this function gets called on
every change, regardless of the rule that was changed.

netfilter: physdev: relax br_netfilter dependency

Following command:
iptables -D FORWARD -m physdev ...
causes connectivity loss in some setups.

Reason is that iptables userspace will probe kernel for the module revision
of the physdev patch, and physdev has an artificial dependency on
br_netfilter (xt_physdev use makes no sense unless a br_netfilter module
is loaded).

This causes the "phydev" module to be loaded, which in turn enables the
"call-iptables" infrastructure.

bridged packets might then get dropped by the iptables ruleset.

The better fix would be to change the "call-iptables" defaults to 0 and
enforce explicit setting to 1, but that breaks backwards compatibility.

This does the next best thing: add a request_module call to checkentry.
This was a stray '-D ... -m physdev' won't activate br_netfilter
anymore.

netfilter: physdev: physdev-is-out should not work with OUTPUT chain

physdev_mt() will check skb->nf_bridge first, which was alloced in
br_nf_pre_routing. So if we want to use --physdev-out and physdev-is-out,
we need to match it in FORWARD or POSTROUTING chain. physdev_mt_check()
only checked physdev-out and missed physdev-is-out. Fix it and update the
debug message to make it clearer.

netfilter: bridge: remove BRNF_STATE_BRIDGED flag

Its not needed anymore since 2bf540b73ed5b
([NETFILTER]: bridge-netfilter: remove deferred hooks).
Before this it was possible to have physoutdev set for locally generated
packets -- this isn't the case anymore:

BRNF_STATE_BRIDGED flag is set when we assign nf_bridge->physoutdev,
so physoutdev != NULL means BRNF_STATE_BRIDGED is set.
If physoutdev is NULL, then we are looking at locally-delivered and
routed packet.

# 4b7fd5d9 02-Oct-2014 Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

netfilter: explicit module dependency between br_netfilter and physdev

You can use physdev to match the physical interface enslaved to the
bridge device. This information is stored in skb->nf_bridge and it is
set up by br_netfilter. So, this is only available when iptables is
used from the bridge netfilter path.

Since 34666d4 ("netfilter: bridge: move br_netfilter out of the core"),
the br_netfilter code is modular. To reduce the impact of this change,
we can autoload the br_netfilter if the physdev match is used since
we assume that the users need br_netfilter in place.

netfilter: xtables: move extension arguments into compound structure (1/6)

The function signatures for Xtables extensions have grown over time.
It involves a lot of typing/replication, and also a bit of stack space
even if they are not used. Realize an NFWS2008 idea and pack them into
structs. The skb remains outside of the struct so gcc can continue to
apply its optimizations.

This patch does this for match extensions' match functions.

A few ambiguities have also been addressed. The "offset" parameter for
example has been renamed to "fragoff" (there are so many different
offsets already) and "protoff" to "thoff" (there is more than just one
protocol here, so clarify).

[NETFILTER] x_tables: Abstraction layer for {ip,ip6,arp}_tables

This monster-patch tries to do the best job for unifying the data
structures and backend interfaces for the three evil clones ip_tables,
ip6_tables and arp_tables. In an ideal world we would never have
allowed this kind of copy+paste programming... but well, our world
isn't (yet?) ideal.

o introduce a new x_tables module
o {ip,arp,ip6}_tables depend on this x_tables module
o registration functions for tables, matches and targets are only
wrappers around x_tables provided functions
o all matches/targets that are used from ip_tables and ip6_tables
are now implemented as xt_FOOBAR.c files and provide module aliases
to ipt_FOOBAR and ip6t_FOOBAR
o header files for xt_matches are in include/linux/netfilter/,
include/linux/netfilter_{ipv4,ipv6} contains compatibility wrappers
around the xt_FOOBAR.h headers

Based on this patchset we're going to further unify the code,
gradually getting rid of all the layer 3 specific assumptions.
