netfilter: xtables: don't save/restore jumpstack offset
In most cases there is no reentrancy into ip/ip6tables. For skbs sent by REJECT or SYNPROXY targets, there is one level of reentrancy, but its not relevant as those targets issue an absolute verdict, i.e. the jumpstack can be clobbered since its not used after the target issues absolute verdict (ACCEPT, DROP, STOLEN, etc). So the only special case where it is relevant is the TEE target, which returns XT_CONTINUE. This patch changes ip(6)_do_table to always use the jump stack starting from 0. When we detect we're operating on an skb sent via TEE (percpu nf_skb_duplicated is 1) we switch to an alternate stack to leave the original one alone. Since there is no TEE support for arptables, it doesn't need to test if tee is active. The jump stack overflow tests are no longer needed as well -- since ->stacksize is the largest call depth we cannot exceed it. A much better alternative to the external jumpstack would be to just declare a jumps[32] stack on the local stack frame, but that would mean we'd have to reject iptables rulesets that used to work before. Another alternative would be to start rejecting rulesets with a larger call depth, e.g. 1000 -- in this case it would be feasible to allocate the entire stack in the percpu area which would avoid one dereference.
