netfilter: nf_tables: add rule blob layout
This patch adds a blob layout per chain to represent the ruleset in the packet datapath. size (unsigned long) struct nft_rule_dp struct nft_expr ... struct nft_rule_dp struct nft_expr ... struct nft_rule_dp (is_last=1) The new structure nft_rule_dp represents the rule in a more compact way (smaller memory footprint) compared to the control-plane nft_rule structure. The ruleset blob is a read-only data structure. The first field contains the blob size, then the rules containing expressions. There is a trailing rule which is used by the tracing infrastructure which is equivalent to the NULL rule marker in the previous representation. The blob size field does not include the size of this trailing rule marker. The ruleset blob is generated from the commit path. This patch reuses the infrastructure available since 0cbc06b ("netfilter: nf_tables: remove synchronize_rcu in commit phase") to build the array of rules per chain.
