netfilter: ctnetlink: add support for user-space expectation helpers
This patch adds the basic infrastructure to support user-space expectation helpers via ctnetlink and the netfilter queuing infrastructure NFQUEUE. Basically, this patch: * adds NF_CT_EXPECT_USERSPACE flag to identify user-space created expectations. I have also added a sanity check in __nf_ct_expect_check() to avoid that kernel-space helpers may create an expectation if the master conntrack has no helper assigned. * adds some branches to check if the master conntrack helper exists, otherwise we skip the code that refers to kernel-space helper such as the local expectation list and the expectation policy. * allows to set the timeout for user-space expectations with no helper assigned. * a list of expectations created from user-space that depends on ctnetlink (if this module is removed, they are deleted). * includes USERSPACE in the /proc output for expectations that have been created by a user-space helper. This patch also modifies ctnetlink to skip including the helper name in the Netlink messages if no kernel-space helper is set (since no user-space expectation has not kernel-space kernel assigned).
