337fbc4166 [NETFILTER]: ip_conntrack: fix NAT helper unload races
The NAT helpr hooks are protected by RCU, but all of the
conntrack helpers test and use the global pointers instead
of copying them first using rcu_dereference()

Also replace synchronize_net() by synchronize_rcu() for clarity
since sychronizing only with packet receive processing is
insufficient to prevent races.

65b4b4e81a [NETFILTER]: Rename init functions.
Every netfilter module uses `init' for its module_init() function and
`fini' or `cleanup' for its module_exit() function.

Problem is, this creates uninformative initcall_debug output and makes
ctags rather useless.

So go through and rename them all to $(filename)_init and
$(filename)_fini.

2f9616d4c4 [NETFILTER]: ip_nat_tftp: Fix expectation NAT
When a TFTP client is SNATed so that the port is also changed, the
port is never changed back for the expected connection.

4acdbdbe50 [NETFILTER]: ip_conntrack_expect_related must not free expectation
If a connection tracking helper tells us to expect a connection, and
we're already expecting that connection, we simply free the one they
gave us and return success.

The problem is that NAT helpers (eg. FTP) have to allocate the
expectation first (to see what port is available) then rewrite the
packet.  If that rewrite fails, they try to remove the expectation,
but it was freed in ip_conntrack_expect_related.

This is one example of a larger problem: having registered the
expectation, the pointer is no longer ours to use.  Reference counting
is needed for ctnetlink anyway, so introduce it now.

To have a single "put" path, we need to grab the reference to the
connection on creation, rather than open-coding it in the caller.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
