netfilter: nat: switch to new rhlist interface
I got offlist bug report about failing connections and high cpu usage.
This happens because we hit 'elasticity' checks in rhashtable that
refuses bucket list exceeding 16 entries.
The nat bysrc hash unfortunately needs to insert distinct objects that
share same key and are identical (have same source tuple), this cannot
be avoided.
Switch to the rhlist interface which is designed for this.
The nulls_base is removed here, I don't think its needed:
A (unlikely) false positive results in unneeded port clash resolution,
a false negative results in packet drop during conntrack confirmation,
when we try to insert the duplicate into main conntrack hash table.
Tested by adding multiple ip addresses to host, then adding
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
... and then creating multiple connections, from same source port but
different addresses:
for i in $(seq 2000 2032);do nc -p 1234 192.168.7.1 $i > /dev/null & done
(all of these then get hashed to same bysource slot)
Then, to test that nat conflict resultion is working:
nc -s 10.0.0.1 -p 1234 192.168.7.1 2000
nc -s 10.0.0.2 -p 1234 192.168.7.1 2000
tcp .. src=10.0.0.1 dst=192.168.7.1 sport=1234 dport=2000 src=192.168.7.1 dst=192.168.7.10 sport=2000 dport=1024 [ASSURED]

tcp .. src=192.168.7.10 dst=192.168.7.1 sport=1234 dport=2001 src=192.168.7.1 dst=192.168.7.10 sport=2001 dport=1234 [ASSURED]
[..]
-> nat altered source ports to 1024 and 1025, respectively.
This can also be confirmed on destination host which shows
ESTAB 0 0 192.168.7.1:2000 192.168.7.10:1024
ESTAB 0 0 192.168.7.1:2000 192.168.7.10:1025
ESTAB 0 0 192.168.7.1:2000 192.168.7.10:1234
