netfilter: reduce NF_VERDICT_MASK to 0xff
NF_VERDICT_MASK is currently 0xffff. This is because the upper
16 bits are used to store errno (for NF_DROP) or the queue number
(NF_QUEUE verdict).
As there are up to 0xffff different queues available, there is no more
room to store additional flags.
At the moment there are only 6 different verdicts, i.e. we can reduce
NF_VERDICT_MASK to 0xff to allow storing additional flags in the 0xff00 space.
NF_VERDICT_BITS would then be reduced to 8, but because the value is
exported to userspace, this might cause breakage; e.g.:
e.g. 'queuenr = (1 << NF_VERDICT_BITS) | NF_QUEUE' would now break.
Thus, remove NF_VERDICT_BITS usage in the kernel and move the old value
to the 'userspace compat' section.
