netfilter: xtables: don't hook tables by default
delay hook registration until the table is being requested inside a
namespace.
Historically, a particular table (iptables mangle, ip6tables filter, etc)
was registered on module load.
When netns support was added to iptables only the ip/ip6tables ruleset was
made namespace aware, not the actual hook points.
This means f.e. that when ipt_filter table/module is loaded on a system,
then each namespace on that system has an (empty) iptables filter ruleset.
In other words, if a namespace sends a packet, such skb is 'caught' by
netfilter machinery and fed to hooking points for that table (i.e. INPUT,
FORWARD, etc).
Thanks to Eric Biederman, hooks are no longer global, but per namespace.
This means that we can avoid allocation of empty ruleset in a namespace and
defer hook registration until we need the functionality.
We register a tables hook entry points ONLY in the initial namespace.
When an iptables get/setockopt is issued inside a given namespace, we check
if the table is found in the per-namespace list.
If not, we attempt to find it in the initial namespace, and, if found,
create an empty default table in the requesting namespace and register the
needed hooks.
Hook points are destroyed only once namespace is deleted, there is no
'usage count' (it makes no sense since there is no 'remove table' operation
in xtables api).
