Subject: [PATCH 4.9 152/153] netfilter: conntrack: remove GC_MAX_EVICTS break

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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

commit 524b698db06b9b6da7192e749f637904e2f62d7b upstream.

Instead of breaking loop and instant resched, don't bother checking
this in first place (the loop calls cond_resched for every bucket anyway).
