commit 65cb9fda32be613216f601a330b311c3bd7a8436 seems the origin...
(and/or 440f0d588555892601cfe511728a0fc0c8204063)

commit 65cb9fda32be613216f601a330b311c3bd7a8436
Author: Patrick McHardy <kaber@...sh.net>
Date:   Sat Jun 13 12:21:49 2009 +0200

    netfilter: nf_conntrack: use mod_timer_pending() for conntrack refresh

    Use mod_timer_pending() instead of atomic sequence of del_timer()/
    add_timer(). mod_timer_pending() does not rearm an inactive timer,
    so we don't need the conntrack lock anymore to make sure we don't
    accidentally rearm a timer of a conntrack which is in the process
    of being destroyed.

    With this change, we don't need to take the global lock anymore at all,
    counter updates can be performed under the per-conntrack lock.

    Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@...sh.net>



IPS_CONFIRMED_BIT is set under nf_conntrack_lock (in __nf_conntrack_confirm()),
we probably want to add a synchronisation under ct->lock as well,
or __nf_ct_refresh_acct() could set ct->timeout.expires to extra_jiffies,
while a different cpu could confirm the conntrack.

Following patch as RFC
