netfilter: merge ctinfo into nfct pointer storage area

After this change conntrack operations (lookup, creation, matching from ruleset) only access one instead of two sk_buff cache lines. This works for normal conntracks because those are allocated from a slab that guarantees hw cacheline or 8byte alignment (whatever is larger) so the 3 bits needed for ctinfo won't overlap with nf_conn addresses. Template allocation now does manual address alignment (see previous change) on arches that don't have sufficent kmalloc min alignment. Some spots intentionally use skb->_nfct instead of skb_nfct() helpers, this is to avoid undoing the skb_nfct() use when we remove untracked conntrack object in the future.

	We decided to get rid of the old Git history and start a new one for several reasons: ) Allow / enforce only high-quality commits (which was not the case for many commits in the history), have a policy that is more close to the one from the Linux kernel. With high quality commits, we mean code that is logically split into commits and commit messages that are signed-off and have a proper subject and message body. We do not allow automatic Github merges anymore, since they are total bullshit. However, we will either cherry-pick your patches or pull them manually. ) The old archive was about ~27MB for no particular good reason. This basically derived from the bad decision that also some PDF files where stored there. From this moment onwards, no binary objects are allowed to be stored in this repository anymore. The old archive is not wiped away from the Internet. You will still be able to find it, e.g. on git.cryptoism.org etc. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>
