Florian Westphal e15d4cdf27 netfilter: conntrack: do not renew entry stuck in tcp SYN_SENT state
Consider:
  client -----> conntrack ---> Host

client sends a SYN, but $Host is unreachable/silent.
Client eventually gives up and the conntrack entry will time out.

However, if the client is restarted with same addr/port pair, it
may prevent the conntrack entry from timing out.

This is noticeable when the existing conntrack entry has no NAT
transformation or an outdated one and port reuse happens either
on client or due to a NAT middlebox.

This change prevents refresh of the timeout for SYN retransmits,
so entry is going away after nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_syn_sent
seconds (default: 60).

Entry will be re-created on next connection attempt, but then
nat rules will be evaluated again.

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 Restructured Text 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.
