The NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TEE option selects NF_DUP_IPV6 whenever
IP6_NF_IPTABLES is enabled, and it ensures that it cannot be
builtin itself if NF_CONNTRACK is a loadable module, as that
is a dependency for NF_DUP_IPV6.
However, NF_DUP_IPV6 can be enabled even if IP6_NF_IPTABLES is
turned off, and it only really depends on IPV6. With the current
check in tee_tg6, we call nf_dup_ipv6() whenever NF_DUP_IPV6
is enabled. This can however be a loadable module which is
unreachable from a built-in xt_TEE:
net/built-in.o: In function `tee_tg6':
:(.text+0x67728): undefined reference to `nf_dup_ipv6'
The bug was originally introduced in the split of the xt_TEE module
into separate modules for ipv4 and ipv6, and two patches tried
to fix it unsuccessfully afterwards.
This is a revert of the the first incorrect attempt to fix it,
going back to depending on IPV6 as the dependency, and we
adapt the 'select' condition accordingly.
