netfilter: nf_conntrack: use per-conntrack locks for protocol data
Introduce per-conntrack locks and use them instead of the global protocol locks to avoid contention. Especially tcp_lock shows up very high in profiles on larger machines. This will also allow to simplify the upcoming reliable event delivery patches. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
