I am looking at all files that depend on these Kconfig options, and
there are a lot of tests.

Thinking more about the problem, it doesn't seem to be a good idea to
change dependency from all NF modules to NF_IPTABLES_LEGACY. In other
words, the `s/selects/depends on/` is the part that is causing all this
hassle, and it seems unnecessary.

That said, I would suggest we do not change the dependency, and keep the
"select NF_IPTABLES_LEGACY", and keep NF_IPTABLES_LEGACY user selectable.

This will make the patch safer, while fixing the problem.
