[PATCH net] selftests: net: update netfilter netlink config

[PATCH net] selftests: net: update netfilter netlink config

[Hangbin Liu]

From: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@kylinos.cn>

Since commit d4349ba9872d ("netfilter: allow nfnetlink built-in only"),
NETFILTER_NETLINK was changed to a bool. Use 'y' instead of 'm'.
Otherwise the build emits:

  .config:5688:warning: symbol value 'm' invalid for NETFILTER_NETLINK

Fixes: d4349ba9872d ("netfilter: allow nfnetlink built-in only")
Signed-off-by: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@kylinos.cn>
---
This is a simple update addressing the same issue, so I’d like to post it
directly to netdev instead of bothering two separate subsystems
(mptcp and netfilter).

[MPTCP CI]

Hi Hangbin,

Thank you for your modifications, that's great!

Our CI did some validations and here is its report:

- KVM Validation: normal (except selftest_mptcp_join): Success! ✅
- KVM Validation: normal (only selftest_mptcp_join): Success! ✅
- KVM Validation: debug (except selftest_mptcp_join): Success! ✅
- KVM Validation: debug (only selftest_mptcp_join): Success! ✅
- KVM Validation: btf-normal (only bpftest_all): Success! ✅
- KVM Validation: btf-debug (only bpftest_all): Success! ✅
- Perf: Success! ✅

Patchwork: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/mptcp/list/?series=1167024


If there are some issues, you can reproduce them using the same environment as
the one used by the CI thanks to a docker image, e.g.:

    $ cd [kernel source code]
    $ docker run -v "${PWD}:${PWD}:rw" -w "${PWD}" --privileged --rm -it \
        --pull always mptcp/mptcp-upstream-virtme-docker:latest \
        auto-normal

For more details:

Please note that despite all the efforts that have been already done to have a
stable tests suite when executed on a public CI like here, it is possible some
reported issues are not due to your modifications. Still, do not hesitate to
help us improve that ;-)
