Subject: [PATCH net-next 04/17] netfilter: conntrack: dccp: try not to drop skb in conntrack

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@...cent.com>

It would be better not to drop skb in conntrack unless we have good
alternatives. So we can treat the result of testing skb's header
pointer as nf_conntrack_tcp_packet() does.
