[PATCH net-next 0/5] netfilter updates for net-next

[Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>]

Hello,

This batch contains a few updates for your *net-next* tree.
Note that this includes two patches that make changes to lib/.

1.  silence a harmless warning for CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_PROCFS=n builds,
from Zhu Wang.

2, 3:
Allow NLA_POLICY_MASK to be used with BE16/BE32 types, and replace a few
manual checks with nla_policy based one in nf_tables, from myself.

4: cleanup in ctnetlink to validate while parsing rather than
   using two steps, from Lin Ma.

5: refactor boyer-moore textsearch by moving a small chunk to
   a helper function, rom Jeremy Sowden.

The following changes since commit bc758ade614576d1c1b167af0246ada8c916c804:
