====================
Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next

The following patchset contains another batch with Netfilter/IPVS updates
for net-next, they are:

1) Add abstracted ICMP codes to the nf_tables reject expression. We
   introduce four reasons to reject using ICMP that overlap in IPv4
   and IPv6 from the semantic point of view. This should simplify the
   maintainance of dual stack rule-sets through the inet table.

2) Move nf_send_reset() functions from header files to per-family
   nf_reject modules, suggested by Patrick McHardy.

3) We have to use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER) everywhere in the
   code now that br_netfilter can be modularized. Convert remaining spots
   in the network stack code.

4) Use rcu_barrier() in the nf_tables module removal path to ensure that
   we don't leave object that are still pending to be released via
   call_rcu (that may likely result in a crash).

5) Remove incomplete arch 32/64 compat from nft_compat. The original (bad)
   idea was to probe the word size based on the xtables match/target info
   size, but this assumption is wrong when you have to dump the information
   back to userspace.

6) Allow to filter from prerouting and postrouting in the nf_tables bridge.
   In order to emulate the ebtables NAT chains (which are actually simple
   filter chains with no special semantics), we have support filtering from
   this hooks too.

7) Add explicit module dependency between xt_physdev and br_netfilter.
   This provides a way to detect if the user needs br_netfilter from
   the configuration path. This should reduce the breakage of the
   br_netfilter modularization.

8) Cleanup coding style in ip_vs.h, from Simon Horman.

9) Fix crash in the recently added nf_tables masq expression. We have
   to register/unregister the notifiers to clean up the conntrack table
   entries from the module init/exit path, not from the rule addition /
   deletion path. From Arturo Borrero.
