The problem I was seeing is when packets come from a different
namespace on the localhost, they still have conntrack data associated.
This doesn't make sense, so the intention is to perform nf_reset().
However, it seems like we should actually be doing a bit more - at
least the skb_dst_drop() and perhaps some of the other stuff in
skb_scrub_packet().

Do you want to retain the mark when transitioning between namespaces?

Perhaps something like the below incremental would be sufficient:

diff --git a/net/openvswitch/vport.c b/net/openvswitch/vport.c
