Subject: [PATCH 02/38] netfilter: flowtables: use fixed renew timeout on teardown

From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

This is one of the very few external callers of ->get_timeouts(),

We can use a fixed timeout instead, conntrack core will refresh this in
case a new packet comes within this period.

Use of ESTABLISHED timeout seems way too huge anyway.
