netfilter: xtables: Add snapshot of hardidletimer target
This is a snapshot of hardidletimer netfilter target. This patch implements a hardidletimer Xtables target that can be used to identify when interfaces have been idle for a certain period of time. Timers are identified by labels and are created when a rule is set with a new label. The rules also take a timeout value (in seconds) as an option. If more than one rule uses the same timer label, the timer will be restarted whenever any of the rules get a hit. One entry for each timer is created in sysfs. This attribute contains the timer remaining for the timer to expire. The attributes are located under the xt_idletimer class: /sys/class/xt_idletimer/timers/<label> When the timer expires, the target module sends a sysfs notification to the userspace, which can then decide what to do (eg. disconnect to save power) Compared to IDLETIMER, HARDIDLETIMER can send notifications when CPU is in suspend too, to notify the timer expiry. v1->v2: Moved all functionality into IDLETIMER module to avoid code duplication per comment from Florian.
