netfilter: xt_connmark: reject invalid shift parameters
Revision 2 of the CONNMARK target accepts user-controlled shift
parameters and applies them to 32-bit mark values in
connmark_tg_shift().
A shift_bits value of 32 or more triggers an undefined-shift bug when
the rule is evaluated. Invalid shift_dir values are also accepted and
silently fall back to the left-shift path.
Reject invalid revision-2 shift parameters in connmark_tg_check() so
malformed rules fail at installation time, before they can reach the
packet path.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
