Subject: [PATCH nf-next v9 4/8] openvswitch: Update the CT state key only after nf_conntrack_in().

Only a successful nf_conntrack_in() call can effect a connection state
change, so if suffices to update the key only after the
nf_conntrack_in() returns.

This change is needed for the later NAT patches.
