netfilter: revert introduction of egress hook
This reverts the following commits:
8537f78647c0 ("netfilter: Introduce egress hook")
5418d3881e1f ("netfilter: Generalize ingress hook")
b030f194aed2 ("netfilter: Rename ingress hook include file")
>From the discussion in [0], the author's main motivation to add a hook
in fast path is for an out of tree kernel module, which is a red flag
to begin with. Other mentioned potential use cases like NAT{64,46}
is on future extensions w/o concrete code in the tree yet. Revert as
suggested [1] given the weak justification to add more hooks to critical
fast-path.
