netfilter: nftables: add connlabel set support
Conntrack labels are currently sized depending on the iptables ruleset, i.e. if we're asked to test or set bits 1, 2, and 65 then we would allocate enough room to store at least bit 65. However, with nft, the input is just a register with arbitrary runtime content. We therefore ask for the upper ceiling we currently have, which is enough room to store 128 bits. Alternatively, we could alter nf_connlabel_replace to increase net->ct.label_words at run time, but since 128 bits is not that big we'd only save sizeof(long) so it doesn't seem worth it for now. This follows a similar approach that xtables 'connlabel' match uses, so when user inputs ct label set bar then we will set the bit used by the 'bar' label and leave the rest alone. This is done by passing the sreg content to nf_connlabels_replace as both value and mask argument. Labels (bits) already set thus cannot be re-set to zero, but this is not supported by xtables connlabel match either.
