Subject: netfilter 23/31: conntrack: replace notify chain by function pointer

commit e34d5c1a4f9919a81b4ea4591d7383245f35cb8e
Author: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@...filter.org>
Date:   Wed Jun 3 10:32:06 2009 +0200

    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.
