In Kconfig, nft is set as depending on NFNETLINK so building nft as a module or inside kernel is depending of the state of NFNETLINK inside the kernel config. If someone wants to build nftables inside the kernel, it is necessary to also build NFNETLINK inside the kernel. But NFNETLINK can not be set in the menu so it is necessary to toggle an external value such as logging or nfacct to have a switch of NFNETLINK to kernel build. This patch change the dependency to a select inside Kconfig to be able to set the build of nftables as modules or inside kernel independently.
