[NETFILTER]: connection tracking event notifiers
This adds a notifier chain based event mechanism for ip_conntrack state changes. As opposed to the previous implementations in patch-o-matic, we do no longer need a field in the skb to achieve this. Thanks to the valuable input from Patrick McHardy and Rusty on the idea of a per_cpu implementation. Signed-off-by: Harald Welte <laforge@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
