packets seem to be dropped after all; call chain is:

nf_conntrack_in -> resolve_normal_ct -> init_conntrack -> __nf_conntrack_alloc.

AFAICS, the -ENOMEM is propagated back to nf_conntrack_in, where ret
will be set to NF_DROP.

The important point is resolve_normal_ct() return value;
on NULL the packet would be untracked.
