    netfilter: xt_CT: recover NOTRACK target support · 10db9069

    Florian Westphal reported that the removal of the NOTRACK target
    (96550501 netfilter: remove xt_NOTRACK) is breaking some existing
    setups.
    
    That removal was scheduled for removal since long time ago as
    described in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
    
    What:  xt_NOTRACK
    Files: net/netfilter/xt_NOTRACK.c
    When:  April 2011
    Why:   Superseded by xt_CT
    
    Still, people may have not notice / may have decided to stick to an
    old iptables version. I agree with him in that some more conservative
    approach by spotting some printk to warn users for some time is less
    agressive.
    
    Current iptables 1.4.16.3 already contains the aliasing support
    that makes it point to the CT target, so upgrading would fix it.
    Still, the policy so far has been to avoid pushing our users to
    upgrade.
    
    As a solution, this patch recovers the NOTRACK target inside the CT
    target and it now spots a warning.
