Subject: [PATCH 5.1 04/96] netfilter: nft_flow_offload: set liberal tracking mode for tcp

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

commit 8437a6209f76f85a2db1abb12a9bde2170801617 upstream.

Without it, whenever a packet has to be pushed up the stack (e.g. because
of mtu mismatch), then conntrack will flag packets as invalid, which in
turn breaks NAT.
