Yi-Hung Wei and Justin Pettit found a race in the garbage collection scheme
used by nf_conncount.
When doing list walk, we lookup the tuple in the conntrack table.
If the lookup fails we remove this tuple from our list because
the conntrack entry is gone.
This is the common cause, but turns out its not the only one.
The list entry could have been created just before by another cpu, i.e. the
conntrack entry might not yet have been inserted into the global hash.
The avoid this, we introduce a timestamp and the owning cpu.
If the entry appears to be stale, evict only if:
1. The current cpu is the one that added the entry, or,
2. The timestamp is older than two jiffies
The second constraint allows GC to be taken over by other
cpu too (e.g. because a cpu was offlined or napi got moved to another
cpu).
We can't pretend the 'doubtful' entry wasn't in our list.
Instead, when we don't find an entry indicate via IS_ERR
that entry was removed ('did not exist' or withheld
('might-be-unconfirmed').
This most likely also fixes a xt_connlimit imbalance earlier reported by
Dmitry Andrianov.
