Merge tag 'nf-25-09-04' of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netfilter/nf

Florian Westphal says:

====================
netfilter: updates for net

1) Fix a silly bug in conntrack selftest, busyloop may get optimized to
   for (;;), reported by Yi Chen.

2) Introduce new NFTA_DEVICE_PREFIX attribute in nftables netlink api,
   re-using old NFTA_DEVICE_NAME led to confusion with different
   kernel/userspace versions.  This refines the wildcard interface
   support added in 6.16 release.  From Phil Sutter.

  netfilter: nf_tables: Introduce NFTA_DEVICE_PREFIX
  selftests: netfilter: fix udpclash tool hang
