netfilter: conntrack: connection timeout after re-register
If the first packet conntrack sees after a re-register is an outgoing keepalive packet with no data (SEG.SEQ = SND.NXT-1), td_end is set to SND.NXT-1. When the peer correctly acknowledges SND.NXT, tcp_in_window fails check III (Upper bound for valid (s)ack: sack <= receiver.td_end) and returns false, which cascades into nf_conntrack_in setting skb->_nfct = 0 and in later conntrack iptables rules not matching. In cases where iptables are dropping packets that do not match conntrack rules this can result in idle tcp connections to time out. v2: adjust td_end when getting the reply rather than when sending out the keepalive packet.
