Looking up CT before ingress would mean the entire "raw"
table needs to be moved before ingress. But with classic
ip_tables, calling a table requires a lot of setup
(basically ip_rcv).

All new skbs (i.e. those that did not loop due to IPsec, for example)
received through __netif_receive_skb should start out with
skb->mark=0, which is why CONNMARK --restore-mark is needed
to copy skb->mark=ct->mark.
