netfilter: better wording for table-full message
-				       "nf_conntrack: table full, dropping"
-				       " packet.\n");
+				       "nf_conntrack: table full, no new "
+				       "CT created, packet will have "
+				       "classification INVALID.\n");
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.

Should there be some kind of hint on how to increase the table size?
