Unfortunatly, this patch changes nothing, as most of the time, do_acct is true.

We also need to fine lock the accounting part as well.

	spin_lock_bh(&ct->some_lock);
	acct = nf_conn_acct_find(ct);
	if (acct) {
		acct[CTINFO2DIR(ctinfo)].packets++;
		acct[CTINFO2DIR(ctinfo)].bytes +=
			skb->len - skb_network_offset(skb);
	}
	spin_unlock_bh(&ct->some_lock);
