Florian Westphal 0434ccdcf8 netfilter: nf_tables: rework ct timeout set support
Using a private template is problematic:

1. We can't assign both a zone and a timeout policy
   (zone assigns a conntrack template, so we hit problem 1)
2. Using a template needs to take care of ct refcount, else we'll
   eventually free the private template due to ->use underflow.

This patch reworks template policy to instead work with existing conntrack.

As long as such conntrack has not yet been placed into the hash table
(unconfirmed) we can still add the timeout extension.

The only caveat is that we now need to update/correct ct->timeout to
reflect the initial/new state, otherwise the conntrack entry retains the
default 'new' timeout.

Side effect of this change is that setting the policy must
now occur from chains that are evaluated *after* the conntrack lookup
has taken place.

No released kernel contains the timeout policy feature yet, so this change
should be ok.

Changes since v2:
 - don't handle 'ct is confirmed case'
 - after previous patch, no need to special-case tcp/dccp/sctp timeout
   anymore

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
