netfilter: ctnetlink: allow to filter dump by status bits
If CTA_STATUS is present, but CTA_STATUS_MASK is not, then the
mask is automatically set to 'status', so that kernel returns those
entries that have all of the requested bits set.
This makes more sense than using a all-one mask since we'd hardly
ever find a match.
There are no other checks for status bits, so if e.g. userspace
sets impossible combinations it will get an empty dump.
If kernel would reject unknown status bits, then a program that works on
a future kernel that has IPS_FOO bit fails on old kernels.
Same for 'impossible' combinations:
Kernel never sets ASSURED without first having set SEEN_REPLY, but its
possible that a future kernel could do so.
Therefore no sanity tests other than a 0-mask.
