netfilter: decouple nf_hook_entry and nf_hook_ops
During nfhook traversal we only need a very small subset of nf_hook_ops members. We need: - next element - hook function to call - hook function priv argument Bridge netfilter also needs 'thresh'; can be obtained via ->orig_ops. nf_hook_entry struct is now 32 bytes on x86_64. A followup patch will turn the run-time list into an array that only stores hook functions plus their priv arguments, eliminating the ->next element.
