netfilter: evict stale entries when user reads /proc/net/nf_conntrack
Fabian reports a possible conntrack memory leak (could not reproduce so far), however, one minor issue can be easily resolved: > cat /proc/net/nf_conntrack | wc -l = 5 > 4 minutes required to clean up the table. We should not report those timed-out entries to the user in first place. And instead of just skipping those timed-out entries while iterating over the table we can also zap them (we already do this during ctnetlink walks, but I forgot about the /proc interface).
