[PATCH nf-next v2 0/3] netfilter: built-in NAT support for DCCP, SCTP, UDPlite

[Davide Caratti <dcaratti@redhat.com>]

Version 2 changes:
- use #ifdef ... in place of #if IS_ENABLED()
- add footprint test results

The above L4 protocols usually need an explicit modprobe command (e.g
"modprobe nf_nat_proto_sctp") to provide full functionality of REDIRECT
targets and SNAT/DNAT targets where port number translation is explicitly
configured.
In order to remove such limitation, this series converts 
CONFIG_NF_NAT_PROTO_{DCCP,SCTP,UDPLITE} from tristate to boolean: in case 
NAT support for these protocols is enabled in the kernel configuration, it
will be built into nf_nat.ko.

footprint test:

each patch of the series has been individually tested on a nf-next.git
kernel with standard RHEL7 configuration on x86_64 architecture, recording
the unstripped binary size after module clean/rebuild:

# ls -l net/netfilter/nf_nat{,_proto_{dccp,sctp,udplite}}.ko
