[nf-next,0/5] netfilter: Prepare netfilter to future .flowi4_tos conversion.

Message

There are multiple occasions where Netfilter code needs to perform
route lookups and initialise struct flowi4. As we're in the process of
converting the .flowi4_tos field to dscp_t, we need to convert the
users so that they have a dscp_t value at hand, rather than a __u8.

All netfilter users get the DSCP (TOS) value from IPv4 packet headers.
So we just need to use the new ip4h_dscp() helper to get a dscp_t
variable.

Converting .flowi4_tos to dscp_t will allow to detect regressions where
ECN bits are mistakenly treated as DSCP when doing route lookups.

Guillaume Nault (5):
  netfilter: ipv4: Convert ip_route_me_harder() to dscp_t.
  netfilter: flow_offload: Convert nft_flow_route() to dscp_t.
  netfilter: rpfilter: Convert rpfilter_mt() to dscp_t.
  netfilter: nft_fib: Convert nft_fib4_eval() to dscp_t.
  netfilter: nf_dup4: Convert nf_dup_ipv4_route() to dscp_t.
