netfilter: xt_connmark: Add bit mapping for bit-shift operation.

With the addition of bit-shift operations, we are able to shift
ct/skbmark based on user requirements. However, this change might also
cause the most left/right hand- side mark to be accidentially lost
during shift operations.

This patch adds the ability to 'grep' certain bits based on ctmask or
nfmask out of the original mark. Then, apply shift operations to achieve
a new mapping between ctmark and skb->mark.

For example: If someone would like save the fourth F bits of ctmark
0xFFF(F)000F into the seventh hexadecimal (0) skb->mark 0xABC000(0)E.

	new_targetmark = (ctmark & ctmask) >> 12;
	(new) skb->mark = (skb->mark &~nfmask) ^
        	           new_targetmark;

This will preserve the other bits that are not related to this
operation.
