The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for *net-next*:

1) prefer vmalloc_array in ebtables, from  Qianfeng Rong.
2) Use csum_replace4 instead of open-coding it, from Christophe Leroy.
3+4) Get rid of GFP_ATOMIC in transaction object allocations, those
     cause silly failures with large sets under memory pressure, from
     myself.
5) Introduce new NFTA_DEVICE_PREFIX attribute in nftables netlink api,
   re-using old NFTA_DEVICE_NAME led to confusion with different
   kernel/userspace versions.  This refines the wildcard interface
   support added in 6.16 release.  From Phil Sutter.
As per discussion I'll route patch 5 via net tree instead, so:

pw-bot: changes-requested

A new nf-next -> net-next MR will follow.
