Subject: [PATCH 80/84] netfilter: nf_conntrack: extend with extra stat counter

From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@...x.dk>

I suspect an unfortunatly series of events occuring under a DDoS
attack, in function __nf_conntrack_find() nf_contrack_core.c.

Adding a stats counter to see if the search is restarted too often.
