Fernando Fernandez Mancera 69894e5b4c netfilter: nft_connlimit: update the count if add was skipped
Connlimit expression can be used for all kind of packets and not only
for packets with connection state new. See this ruleset as example:

table ip filter {
        chain input {
                type filter hook input priority filter; policy accept;
                tcp dport 22 ct count over 4 counter
        }
}

Currently, if the connection count goes over the limit the counter will
count the packets. When a connection is closed, the connection count
won't decrement as it should because it is only updated for new
connections due to an optimization on __nf_conncount_add() that prevents
updating the list if the connection is duplicated.

To solve this problem, check whether the connection was skipped and if
so, update the list. Adjust count_tree() too so the same fix is applied
for xt_connlimit.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
