Applied.
Please follow up with a patch to add:
CONFIG_NETFILTER_SYNPROXY=y
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_CT=y
CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_STATE=y
CONFIG_IP_NF_FILTER=y
CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_SYNPROXY=y
CONFIG_IP_NF_RAW=y

to selftests/bpf/config.

Otherwise folks will not know what to enable when they see
test_synproxy:FAIL:iptables -t raw -I PREROUTING         -i tmp1 -p
tcp -m tcp --syn --dport 8080 -j CT --notrack unexpected error: 256
(errno 22)
