Subject: netfilter 04/06: nf_conntrack: don't try to deliver events for untracked connections

commit 5962fc6d5fff09c8e6fb8cadcb18327a0f4277f7
Author: Patrick McHardy <kaber@...sh.net>

    netfilter: nf_conntrack: don't try to deliver events for untracked connections
    
    The untracked conntrack actually does usually have events marked for
    delivery as its not special-cased in that part of the code. Skip the
    actual delivery since it impacts performance noticeably.
