Subject: [PATCH nf] netfilter: flowtable: fix TCP flow teardown
This patch addresses three possible problems:
1. ct gc may race to undo the timeout adjustment of the packet path, leaving
the conntrack entry in place with the internal offload timeout (one day).
2. ct gc removes the ct because the IPS_OFFLOAD_BIT is not set and the CLOSE
timeout is reached before the flow offload del.
3. tcp ct is always set to ESTABLISHED with a very long timeout
in flow offload teardown/delete even though the state might be already
CLOSED. Also as a remark we cannot assume that the FIN or RST packet
is hitting flow table teardown as the packet might get bumped to the
slow path in nftables.
This patch resets IPS_OFFLOAD_BIT from flow_offload_teardown(), so
conntrack handles the tcp rst/fin packet which triggers the CLOSE/FIN
state transition.
Moreover, teturn the connection's ownership to conntrack upon teardown
by clearing the offload flag and fixing the established timeout value.
The flow table GC thread will asynchonrnously free the flow table and
hardware offload entries.
Before this patch, the IPS_OFFLOAD_BIT remained set for expired flows on
which is also misleading since the flow is back to classic conntrack
path.
If nf_ct_delete() removes the entry from the conntrack table, then it
calls nf_ct_put() which decrements the refcnt. This is not a problem
because the flowtable holds a reference to the conntrack object from
flow_offload_alloc() path which is released via flow_offload_free().
This patch also updates nft_flow_offload to skip packets in SYN_RECV
state. Since we might miss or bump packets to slow path, we do not know
what will happen there while we are still in SYN_RECV, this patch
postpones offload up to the next packet which also aligns to the
existing behaviour in tc-ct.
flow_offload_teardown() does not reset the existing tcp state from
flow_offload_fixup_tcp() to ESTABLISHED anymore, packets bump to slow
path might have already update the state to CLOSE/FIN.
Joint work with Oz and Sven.

Everyone happy with this? Please add your Signed-off-by tag.
I'm showing as the author in this patch, but this is basically a mix and
match of Oz's and Sven's patches.
Thanks a lot for your patience !
