With all the users of the double pointers removed, this patch mops up by
finally replacing all occurances of sk_buff ** in the netfilter API by
sk_buff *.

Now that all callers of netfilter can guarantee that the skb is not shared,
we no longer have to copy the skb in skb_make_writable.

This patch makes /proc/net per network namespace. It modifies the global
variables proc_net and proc_net_stat to be per network namespace.
The proc_net file helpers are modified to take a network namespace argument,
and all of their callers are fixed to pass &init_net for that argument.
This ensures that all of the /proc/net files are only visible and
usable in the initial network namespace until the code behind them
has been updated to be handle multiple network namespaces.
Making /proc/net per namespace is necessary as at least some files
in /proc/net depend upon the set of network devices which is per
network namespace, and even more files in /proc/net have contents
that are relevant to a single network namespace.

Currently NAT (and others) that want to modify cloned skbs copy them,
even if in the vast majority of cases its not necessary because the
skb is a clone made by TCP and the portion NAT wants to modify is
actually writable because TCP release the header reference before
cloning.
The problem is that there is no clean way for NAT to find out how
long the writable header area is, so this patch introduces skb->hdr_len
to hold this length. When a headerless skb is cloned skb->hdr_len
is set to the current headroom, for regular clones it is copied from
the original. A new function skb_clone_writable(skb, len) returns
whether the skb is writable up to len bytes from skb->data. To avoid
enlarging the skb the mac_len field is reduced to 16 bit and the
new hdr_len field is put in the remaining 16 bit.
I've done a few rough benchmarks of NAT (not with this exact patch,
but a very similar one). As expected it saves huge amounts of system
time in case of sendfile, bringing it down to basically the same
amount as without NAT, with sendmsg it only helps on loopback,
probably because of the large MTU.
Transmit a 1GB file using sendfile/sendmsg over eth0/lo with and
without NAT:
- sendfile eth0, no NAT: sys 0m0.388s
- sendfile eth0, NAT: sys 0m1.835s
- sendfile eth0: NAT + path: sys 0m0.370s (~ -80%)
- sendfile lo, no NAT: sys 0m0.258s
- sendfile lo, NAT: sys 0m2.609s
- sendfile lo, NAT + patch: sys 0m0.260s (~ -90%)
- sendmsg eth0, no NAT: sys 0m2.508s
- sendmsg eth0, NAT: sys 0m2.539s
- sendmsg eth0, NAT + patch: sys 0m2.445s (no change)
- sendmsg lo, no NAT: sys 0m2.151s
- sendmsg lo, NAT: sys 0m3.557s
- sendmsg lo, NAT + patch: sys 0m2.159s (~ -40%)
I expect other users can see a similar performance improvement,
packet mangling iptables targets, ipip and ip_gre come to mind ..

The destructor per conntrack is unnecessary, then this replaces it with

The spinlock is only used in process context (register/unregister)
since RCU is used for the nf_hook lists, switch to a mutex.

Use rcu_assign_pointer/rcu_dereference for ip_ct_attach pointer instead
of self-made RCU and use rcu_read_lock to make sure the conntrack module
doesn't disappear below us while calling it, since this function can be
called from outside the netfilter hooks.

This patch doesn't introduce any code changes, but merely splits the
core netfilter code into four separate files. It also moves it from
it's old location in net/core/ to the recently-created net/netfilter/
directory.
