Florian Westphal fa23e0d4b7 netfilter: nf_tables: allow clone callbacks to sleep
Sven Auhagen reports transaction failures with following error:
  ./main.nft:13:1-26: Error: Could not process rule: Cannot allocate memory
  percpu: allocation failed, size=16 align=8 atomic=1, atomic alloc failed, no space left

This points to failing pcpu allocation with GFP_ATOMIC flag.
However, transactions happen from user context and are allowed to sleep.

One case where we can call into percpu allocator with GFP_ATOMIC is
nft_counter expression.

Normally this happens from control plane, so this could use GFP_KERNEL
instead.  But one use case, element insertion from packet path,
needs to use GFP_ATOMIC allocations (nft_dynset expression).

At this time, .clone callbacks always use GFP_ATOMIC for this reason.

Add gfp_t argument to the .clone function and pass GFP_KERNEL or
GFP_ATOMIC flag depending on context, this allows all clone memory
allocations to sleep for the normal (transaction) case.
