These 3 changes are strange. None of these are network protocols, they can be
used to check if an incoming packet has a socket in the current namespace
(mostly used for transparent proxying w. policy routing), but the TPROXY
feature remains on, which is contradictory; I'm not sure TPROXY is 100%
functional without socket match.

NFT_SOCKET also allows to do "accept packet if sending process is in cgroup
"foo") and the like.

Lastly, the commit message implies IPv6 is disabled, but I don't see a change
for CONFIG_IPV6. If its going to be disabled, then CONFIG_NF_SOCKET_IPV6
change is not relevant because it depends on IPV6. If its going to remain
enabled, I think that should be reflected in the commit message.

I can't provide recommendations because I don't know the feature set that has
to be supported, so its entirely possible that you could do
CONFIG_NETFILTER=n.
