netfilter: ctnetlink: add support for user-space expectation helpers

Browse source 
This patch adds the basic infrastructure to support user-space
expectation helpers via ctnetlink and the netfilter queuing
infrastructure NFQUEUE. Basically, this patch:

* adds NF_CT_EXPECT_USERSPACE flag to identify user-space
  created expectations. I have also added a sanity check in
  __nf_ct_expect_check() to avoid that kernel-space helpers
  may create an expectation if the master conntrack has no
  helper assigned.
* adds some branches to check if the master conntrack helper
  exists, otherwise we skip the code that refers to kernel-space
  helper such as the local expectation list and the expectation
  policy.
* allows to set the timeout for user-space expectations with
  no helper assigned.
* a list of expectations created from user-space that depends
  on ctnetlink (if this module is removed, they are deleted).
* includes USERSPACE in the /proc output for expectations
  that have been created by a user-space helper.

This patch also modifies ctnetlink to skip including the helper
name in the Netlink messages if no kernel-space helper is set
(since no user-space expectation has not kernel-space kernel
assigned).

You can access an example user-space FTP conntrack helper at:
