====================
Netfilter updates for net-next

The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next:

Patch #1 skips transaction if object type provides no .update interface.

Patch #2 skips NETDEV_CHANGENAME which is unused.

Patch #3 enables conntrack to handle Multicast Router Advertisements and
	 Multicast Router Solicitations from the Multicast Router Discovery
	 protocol (RFC4286) as untracked opposed to invalid packets.
	 From Linus Luessing.

Patch #4 updates DCCP conntracker to mark invalid as invalid, instead of
	 dropping them, from Jason Xing.

Patch #5 uses NF_DROP instead of -NF_DROP since NF_DROP is 0,
	 also from Jason.

Patch #6 removes reference in netfilter's sysctl documentation on pickup
	 entries which were already removed by Florian Westphal.

Patch #7 removes check for IPS_OFFLOAD flag to disable early drop which
	 allows to evict entries from the conntrack table,
	 also from Florian.

Patches #8 to #16 updates nf_tables pipapo set backend to allocate
	 the datastructure copy on-demand from preparation phase,
	 to better deal with OOM situations where .commit step is too late
	 to fail. Series from Florian Westphal.

Patch #17 adds a selftest with packetdrill to cover conntrack TCP state
	 transitions, also from Florian.

Patch #18 use GFP_KERNEL to clone elements from control plane to avoid
	 quick atomic reserves exhaustion with large sets, reporter refers
	 to million entries magnitude.
