The section of bpfilter UMH blob is the ".bpfilter_umh". but this is not
an explicit section. so linking warning occurred at compile time for the
powerpc.
So, this patch makes use of the ".rodata" instead of the ".bpfilter_umh".
Config condition:
CONFIG_BPFILTER=y
CONFIG_BPFILTER_UMH=y
Result:
ld: warning: orphan section `.bpfilter_umh' from
`net/bpfilter/bpfilter_umh_blob.o' being placed in section `.bpfilter_umh'

The bpfilter_umh will be stopped via __stop_umh() when the bpfilter
error occurred.
The bpfilter_umh() couldn't start again because there is no restart
routine.
The section of the bpfilter_umh_{start/end} is no longer .init.rodata
because these area should be reused in the restart routine. hence
the section name is changed to .bpfilter_umh.
The bpfilter_ops->start() is restart callback. it will be called when
bpfilter_umh is stopped.
The stop bit means bpfilter_umh is stopped. this bit is set by both
start and stop routine.
Before this patch,
Test commands:
$ iptables -vnL
$ kill -9 <pid of bpfilter_umh>
$ iptables -vnL
[ 480.045136] bpfilter: write fail -32
$ iptables -vnL
All iptables commands will fail.
After this patch,
Test commands:
$ iptables -vnL
$ kill -9 <pid of bpfilter_umh>
$ iptables -vnL
$ iptables -vnL
Now, all iptables commands will work.

What we want here is to embed a user-space program into the kernel.
Instead of the complex ELF magic, let's simply wrap it in the assembly
with the '.incbin' directive.
