netfilter: xtables: idletimer target implementation

This patch implements an idletimer 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).

help
This option adds the `IDLETIMER' target. Each matching packet
resets the timer associated with label specified when the rule is
added. When the timer expires, it triggers a sysfs notification.
The remaining time for expiration can be read via sysfs.
To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.
