netfilter: ctnetlink: allow userspace to modify labels
Add the ability to set/clear labels assigned to a conntrack via ctnetlink. To allow userspace to only alter specific bits, Pablo suggested to add a new CTA_LABELS_MASK attribute: The new set of active labels is then determined via active = (active & ~mask) ^ changeset i.e., the mask selects those bits in the existing set that should be changed. This follows the same method already used by MARK and CONNMARK targets. Omitting CTA_LABELS_MASK is the same as setting all bits in CTA_LABELS_MASK to 1: The existing set is replaced by the one from userspace.
