Subject: [PATCH net-next 8/9] netfilter: Make legacy configs user selectable

From: Breno Leitao <leitao@...ian.org>

This option makes legacy Netfilter Kconfig user selectable, giving users
the option to configure iptables without enabling any other config.

Make the following KConfig entries user selectable:
 * BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES_LEGACY
 * IP_NF_ARPTABLES
 * IP_NF_IPTABLES_LEGACY
 * IP6_NF_IPTABLES_LEGACY
