      ====================
      nf_tables updates for net-next
      
      The following patchset contains the following nf_tables updates,
      mostly updates from Patrick McHardy, they are:
      
      * Add the "inet" table and filter chain type for this new netfilter
        family: NFPROTO_INET. This special table/chain allows IPv4 and IPv6
        rules, this should help to simplify the burden in the administration
        of dual stack firewalls. This also includes several patches to prepare
        the infrastructure for this new table and a new meta extension to
        match the layer 3 and 4 protocol numbers, from Patrick McHardy.
      
      * Load both IPv4 and IPv6 conntrack modules in nft_ct if the rule is used
        in NFPROTO_INET, as we don't certainly know which one would be used,
        also from Patrick McHardy.
      
      * Do not allow to delete a table that contains sets, otherwise these
        sets become orphan, from Patrick McHardy.
      
      * Hold a reference to the corresponding nf_tables family module when
        creating a table of that family type, to avoid the module deletion
        when in use, from Patrick McHardy.
      
      * Update chain counters before setting the chain policy to ensure that
        we don't leave the chain in inconsistent state in case of errors (aka.
        restore chain atomicity). This also fixes a possible leak if it fails
        to allocate the chain counters if no counters are passed to be restored,
        from Patrick McHardy.
      
      * Don't check for overflows in the table counter if we are just renaming
        a chain, from Patrick McHardy.
      
      * Replay the netlink request after dropping the nfnl lock to load the
        module that supports provides a chain type, from Patrick.
      
      * Fix chain type module references, from Patrick.
      
      * Several cleanups, function renames, constification and code
        refactorizations also from Patrick McHardy.
      
      * Add support to set the connmark, this can be used to set it based on
        the meta mark (similar feature to -j CONNMARK --restore), from
        Kristian Evensen.
      
      * A couple of fixes to the recently added meta/set support and nft_reject,
        and fix missing chain type unregistration if we fail to register our
        the family table/filter chain type, from myself.
