netfilter: conntrack: replace notify chain by function pointer
This patch removes the notify chain infrastructure and replace it by a simple function pointer. This issue has been mentioned in the mailing list several times: the use of the notify chain adds too much overhead for something that is only used by ctnetlink. This patch also changes nfnetlink_send(). It seems that gfp_any() returns GFP_KERNEL for user-context request, like those via ctnetlink, inside the RCU read-side section which is not valid. Using GFP_KERNEL is also evil since netlink may schedule(), this leads to "scheduling while atomic" bug reports. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
