Subject: [PATCH net 4/9] netfilter: conntrack: avoid misleading 'invalid' in log message

From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

The packet is not flagged as invalid: conntrack will accept it and
its associated with the conntrack entry.

This happens e.g. when receiving a retransmitted SYN in SYN_RECV state.
