Subject: [PATCH 6/6] netfilter: conntrack: skip clash resolution if nat is in place

The clash resolution is not easy to apply if the NAT table is
registered. Even if no NAT rules are installed, the nul-binding ensures
that a unique tuple is used, thus, the packet that loses race gets a
different source port number, as described by:

http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=146818011604484&w=2

Clash resolution with NAT is also problematic if addresses/port range
ports are used since the conntrack that wins race may describe a
different mangling that we may have earlier applied to the packet via
nf_nat_setup_info().
