[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: use hashtable for expectations
Currently all expectations are kept on a global list that - needs to be searched for every new conncetion - needs to be walked for evicting expectations when a master connection has reached its limit - needs to be walked on connection destruction for connections that have open expectations This is obviously not good, especially when considering helpers like H.323 that register *lots* of expectations and can set up permanent expectations, but it also allows for an easy DoS against firewalls using connection tracking helpers. Use a hashtable for expectations to avoid incurring the search overhead for every new connection. The default hash size is 1/256 of the conntrack hash table size, this can be overriden using a module parameter. This patch only introduces the hash table for expectation lookups and keeps other users to reduce the noise, the following patches will get rid of it completely.
