Jan Engelhardt b0f38452ff netfilter: xtables: change xt_match.checkentry return type
Restore function signatures from bool to int so that we can report
memory allocation failures or similar using -ENOMEM rather than
always having to pass -EINVAL back.

This semantic patch may not be too precise (checking for functions
that use xt_mtchk_param rather than functions referenced by
xt_match.checkentry), but reviewed, it produced the intended result.

type bool;
identifier check, par;

-bool check
+int check
 (struct xt_mtchk_param *par) { ... }

Jan Engelhardt 85bc3f3814 netfilter: xtables: do not print any messages on ENOMEM
ENOMEM is a very obvious error code (cf. EINVAL), so I think we do not
really need a warning message. Not to mention that if the allocation
fails, the user is most likely going to get a stack trace from slab
already.

Jan Engelhardt acc738fec0 netfilter: xtables: avoid pointer to self
Commit 784544739a (netfilter: iptables:
lock free counters) broke a number of modules whose rule data referenced
itself. A reallocation would not reestablish the correct references, so
it is best to use a separate struct that does not fall under RCU.

Jan Engelhardt f7108a20de 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).

Jan Engelhardt 55b69e9104 netfilter: implement NFPROTO_UNSPEC as a wildcard for extensions
When a match or target is looked up using xt_find_{match,target},
Xtables will also search the NFPROTO_UNSPEC module list. This allows
for protocol-independent extensions (like xt_time) to be reused from
other components (e.g. arptables, ebtables).

Extensions that take different codepaths depending on match->family
or target->family of course cannot use NFPROTO_UNSPEC within the
registration structure (e.g. xt_pkttype).
