Subject: [PATCH 2/7] netfilter: do not omit re-route check on NF_QUEUE verdict

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

ret != NF_QUEUE only works in the "--queue-num 0" case; for
queues > 0 the test should be '(ret & NF_VERDICT_MASK) != NF_QUEUE'.

However, NF_QUEUE no longer DROPs the skb unconditionally if queueing
fails (due to NF_VERDICT_FLAG_QUEUE_BYPASS verdict flag), so the
re-route test should also be performed if this flag is set in the
verdict.

The full test would then look something like

&& ((ret & NF_VERDICT_MASK) == NF_QUEUE && (ret & NF_VERDICT_FLAG_QUEUE_BYPASS))

This is rather ugly, so just remove the NF_QUEUE test altogether.

The only effect is that we might perform an unnecessary route lookup
in the NF_QUEUE case.

ip6table_mangle did not have such a check.
