The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for *net-next*.

1) Update nfnetlink_hook to dump the individual NAT type chains
instead of the nat base chains to userspace. From Phil Sutter.

2) Replace strlcpy/strlcat() with snprintf() in x_tables, from Ian Bridges.

3) Start replacing u_int8_t and u_int16t with u8 and u16 in netfilter.
From Carlos Grillet.

4) Replace strcpy() with strscpy() in netfilter, from David Laight.

5) Remove redundant NULL check before kvfree().

6) Add parameter validation to xt_tcpmss. Ensure mss_min <= mss_max and
invert <= 1.  From Feng Wu.

7) Add checkentry for xt_dscp 'tos' match. Implement tos_mt_check() to reject
invalid invert values.  Also from Feng Wu.

8) Stop hashing nf_conntrack_helper by tuple. Switch to hashing by name and
L4 protocol.

9) Remove tuples from conntrack helper definitions and port usage from
broadcast helpers. Add netlink policy validation to prevent protocol
number truncation.

10) Remove obsolete netfilter conntrack module parameters.

11) Bound num_counters in ebtables: do_replace() by MAX_EBT_ENTRIES to prevent
oversized vmalloc_array() allocations.  From Jiayuan Chen.

12) Make expectations created via nft_ct rules work with NAT.
