Revert "netfilter: ctnetlink: fix soft lockup when netlink adds new entries"
This reverts commit af14cca162ddcdea017b648c21b9b091e4bf1fa4. This patch contains a race condition between packets and ctnetlink in the conntrack addition. A new patch to fix this issue follows up. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
