Looks fine to me. Jan?

The check for TCP_CONNTRACK_TIME_WAIT was introduced since there is
the 2*MSL delay before the TIME_WAIT->CLOSED transition, and not
counting a connection beginning with TIME_WAIT is common sense/what
people expect.

Yes, though the end-result might not be what people expect.
The connection can be reopened, exceeding the configured
limit, and lots of TIME_WAIT/CLOSE connections might linger
around.

Though the cleanup delay between TCP_CONNTRACK_CLOSE and (deallocated
state) is much less than 2*MSL, it makes sense to also add this case
per common sense.

Patch is fine, yes, but you do not need the redundant
( ) that were introduced.

I'll remove them when applying the patch.

Dong, I need a Signed-off-by: line from you before I can apply this.
