[PATCH nf] netfilter: ip6_tables: set F_PROTO when proto value is nonzero

Message-ID <[email protected]>
The ip6tables traverser doesn't search the extension header chain unless
userspace did set the IP6T_F_PROTO flag.

This also means that userspace that sets the e->ipv6.proto flag can bypass
the protocol check for the rule by not setting this flag.

That in turn means that all ip6_tables modules and targets that want to
reject rules without '-p' flag MUST also check for that flag.

Not all do, likely because they got copied from iptables which lacks
this flag (no extension headers).

Instead of fixing up all the relevant targets, emulate ip6tables behaviour
in the kernel (like nft_compat.c) and set the flag if the protocol is set.
