    netfilter: flowtable infrastructure depends on NETFILTER_INGRESS · 6be3bcd7

    config NF_FLOW_TABLE depends on NETFILTER_INGRESS. If users forget to
    enable this toggle, flowtable registration fails with EOPNOTSUPP.
    
    Moreover, turn 'select NF_FLOW_TABLE' in every flowtable family flavour
    into dependency instead, otherwise this new dependency on
    NETFILTER_INGRESS causes a warning. This also allows us to remove the
    explicit dependency between family flowtables <-> NF_TABLES and
    NF_CONNTRACK, given they depend on the NF_FLOW_TABLE core that already
    expresses the general dependencies for this new infrastructure.
    
    Moreover, NF_FLOW_TABLE_INET depends on NF_FLOW_TABLE_IPV4 and
    NF_FLOWTABLE_IPV6, which already depends on NF_FLOW_TABLE. So we can get
    rid of direct dependency with NF_FLOW_TABLE.
    
    In general, let's avoid 'select', it just makes things more complicated.
