[PATCH net-next] netfilter: improve flow table Kconfig dependencies

[PATCH net-next] netfilter: improve flow table Kconfig dependencies

[Arnd Bergmann]

The newly added NF_FLOW_TABLE options cause some build failures in
randconfig kernels:

- when CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK is disabled, or is a loadable module but
  NF_FLOW_TABLE is built-in:

  In file included from net/netfilter/nf_flow_table.c:8:0:
  include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack.h:59:22: error: field 'ct_general' has incomplete type
    struct nf_conntrack ct_general;

  net/netfilter/nf_flow_table.o: In function `nf_flow_offload_work_gc':
  (.text+0x1540): undefined reference to `nf_ct_delete'

- when CONFIG_NF_TABLES is disabled:

  In file included from net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_flow_table_ipv6.c:13:0:
  include/net/netfilter/nf_tables.h: In function 'nft_gencursor_next':
  include/net/netfilter/nf_tables.h:1189:14: error: 'const struct net' has no member named 'nft'; did you mean 'nf'?

 - when CONFIG_NF_FLOW_TABLE_INET is enabled, but NF_FLOW_TABLE_IPV4
  or NF_FLOW_TABLE_IPV6 are not, or are loadable modules

  net/netfilter/nf_flow_table_inet.o: In function `nf_flow_offload_inet_hook':
  nf_flow_table_inet.c:(.text+0x94): undefined reference to `nf_flow_offload_ipv6_hook'
  nf_flow_table_inet.c:(.text+0x40): undefined reference to `nf_flow_offload_ip_hook'

- when CONFIG_NF_FLOW_TABLES is disabled, but the other options are
  enabled:

  net/netfilter/nf_flow_table_inet.o: In function `nf_flow_offload_inet_hook':
  nf_flow_table_inet.c:(.text+0x6c): undefined reference to `nf_flow_offload_ipv6_hook'
  net/netfilter/nf_flow_table_inet.o: In function `nf_flow_inet_module_exit':
  nf_flow_table_inet.c:(.exit.text+0x8): undefined reference to `nft_unregister_flowtable_type'
  net/netfilter/nf_flow_table_inet.o: In function `nf_flow_inet_module_init':
  nf_flow_table_inet.c:(.init.text+0x8): undefined reference to `nft_register_flowtable_type'
  net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_flow_table_ipv4.o: In function `nf_flow_ipv4_module_exit':
  nf_flow_table_ipv4.c:(.exit.text+0x8): undefined reference to `nft_unregister_flowtable_type'
  net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_flow_table_ipv4.o: In function `nf_flow_ipv4_module_init':
  nf_flow_table_ipv4.c:(.init.text+0x8): undefined reference to `nft_register_flowtable_type'

This adds additional Kconfig dependencies to ensure that NF_CONNTRACK and NF_TABLES
are always visible from NF_FLOW_TABLE, and that the internal dependencies between
the four new modules are met.

Fixes: 7c23b629a808 ("netfilter: flow table support for the mixed IPv4/IPv6 family")
Fixes: 0995210753a2 ("netfilter: flow table support for IPv6")
Fixes: 97add9f0d66d ("netfilter: flow table support for IPv4")

Applied, thanks Arnd.
