Subject: [PATCH 11/15] netfilter: ebtables: reject non-bridge targets

From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

the ebtables evaluation loop expects targets to return
positive values (jumps), or negative values (absolute verdicts).

This is completely different from what xtables does.
In xtables, targets are expected to return the standard netfilter
verdicts, i.e. NF_DROP, NF_ACCEPT, etc.

ebtables will consider these as jumps.

Therefore reject any target found due to unspec fallback.
v2: also reject watchers.  ebtables ignores their return value, so
a target that assumes skb ownership (and returns NF_STOLEN) causes
use-after-free.

The only watchers in the 'ebtables' front-end are log and nflog;
both have AF_BRIDGE specific wrappers on kernel side.
