[PATCH 10/10] [NETFILTER]: Replace sk_buff ** with sk_buff *

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
Date: 2007-10-14 04:28:35
Subsystem: ethernet bridge, ipvs, netfilter, networking drivers, networking [general], networking [ipsec], networking [ipv4/ipv6], networking [labeled] (netlabel, labeled ipsec, secmark), tc subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Nikolay Aleksandrov, Ido Schimmel, Simon Horman, Julian Anastasov, Pablo Neira Ayuso, Florian Westphal, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Steffen Klassert, Herbert Xu, David Ahern, Paul Moore, Jamal Hadi Salim, Jiri Pirko, Linus Torvalds

[NETFILTER]: Replace sk_buff ** with sk_buff *

With all the users of the double pointers removed, this patch mops up by
finally replacing all occurances of sk_buff ** in the netfilter API by
sk_buff *.
