Subject: [PATCH 2/3] netfilter: Add dependency on IPV6 for NF_TABLES_INET

From: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@...driver.com>

Commit 1d49144c0aa ("netfilter: nf_tables: add "inet" table for
IPv4/IPv6") allows creation of non-IPV6 enabled .config files that
will fail to configure/link as follows:

warning: (NF_TABLES_INET) selects NF_TABLES_IPV6 which has unmet direct dependencies (NET && INET && IPV6 && NETFILTER && NF_TABLES)
warning: (NF_TABLES_INET) selects NF_TABLES_IPV6 which has unmet direct dependencies (NET && INET && IPV6 && NETFILTER && NF_TABLES)
warning: (NF_TABLES_INET) selects NF_TABLES_IPV6 which has unmet direct dependencies (NET && INET && IPV6 && NETFILTER && NF_TABLES)
net/built-in.o: In function `nft_reject_eval':
nft_reject.c:(.text+0x651e8): undefined reference to `nf_ip6_checksum'
nft_reject.c:(.text+0x65270): undefined reference to `ip6_route_output'
nft_reject.c:(.text+0x656c4): undefined reference to `ip6_dst_hoplimit'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

Since the feature is to allow for a mixed IPV4 and IPV6 table, it
seems sensible to make it depend on IPV6.
