Look like a potential patchset to backport without having to bump
version in stable release:

I'll test it, and then will alk w/ the SRU verification team to see if
eligible for SRU.

    iptables: remove duplicated argument parsing code
    
    1. Factor out repeated code to a new xs_has_arg function.
    2. Add a new parse_wait_time option to parse the value of -w.
    3. Make parse_wait_interval take argc and argv so its callers
       can be simpler.

Title:
  iptables-restore is missing -w option

Status in iptables package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  For CRIU we need to have iptables version 1.6.2 which includes the
  '-w' option in iptables-restore.

  This is a request to update iptables to 1.6.2 in 18.10 and if possible
  backport the necessary changes to 18.04.

  The CRIU project gets right now many bug reports (mostly in the
  combination LXD + CRIU) due to the missing '-w' option in iptables-
  restore. Especially as 18.04 will be around for some time it would be
  good to have iptables-restore available with '-w'.

  This is one example bug report: https://github.com/checkpoint-
  restore/criu/issues/551

  But not only CRIU would benefit from this change. It seems also
  problematic with Kubernetes:
  https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60978

  So if possible, please update iptables to 1.6.2 (or backport changes)
  to support -w in iptables-restore.
