Subject: [PATCH RFC 1/7] netfilter: add socket to struct nft_pktinfo

From: Daniel Mack <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2015 13:12:14 +0200

The high-level netfilter hook API already enables users to pass a socket,
but that information is lost when the chains are walked.

In order to let internal eval callbacks use the passed filter rather than
skb->sk, add a pointer of type 'struct sock' to 'struct nft_pktinfo' and
set that field via nft_set_pktinfo().

This allows us to run filter chains from situations where skb->sk is unset.
Fall back to skb->sk in case state->sk is NULL, so filter callbacks can be
written in a generic way.
