When netfilter needs to match traffic made by one of the above protocols,
layer-4 connection tracking functionality will not be available, unless the
user explicly loads it in the kernel (e.g. "modprobe nf_conntrack_proto_sctp")
or modifies the default kernel configuration and rebuilds.
In order to remove such limitation, this series converts
CONFIG_NF_CT_PROTO_{DCCP,SCTP,UDPLITE} from tristate to boolean: in case
conntrack support for these protocols is enabled in the kernel configuration,
it will be built into nf_conntrack.ko.

Patch 1/4 fixes nf_conntrack_tuple_common.h to avoid compile-time errors
when moving module per-net private data.
Patches 2/4  3,4 and 4/4 remove loadable kernel module support from DCCP,
SCTP and UDPlite respectively.

footprint test (nf-next.git, x86_64, RHEL7)

Patches 2/4 to 4/4 in this series have 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_conntrack{,_proto_{dccp,sctp,udplite}}.ko \
        net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_conntrack_ipv4.ko \
        net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_ipv6.ko
