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).
