====================
Netfilter fixes for net (v2)

The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net:

1) Move back the defrag users fields to the global netns_nf area.
   Kernel fails to boot if conntrack is builtin and kernel is booted
   with: nf_conntrack.enable_hooks=1. From Florian Westphal.

2) Rule event notification is missing relevant context such as
   the position handle and the NLM_F_APPEND flag.

3) Rule replacement is expanded to add + delete using the existing
   rule handle, reverse order of this operation so it makes sense
   from rule notification standpoint.

4) Propagate to userspace the NLM_F_CREATE and NLM_F_EXCL flags
   from the rule notification path.

Patches #2, #3 and #4 are used by 'nft monitor' and 'iptables-monitor'
userspace utilities which are not correctly representing the following
operations through netlink notifications:

- rule insertions
- rule addition/insertion from position handle
- create table/chain/set/map/flowtable/...
