If insertion of a new conntrack fails because the table is full, the kernel
searches the next buckets of the hash slot where the new connection
was supposed to be inserted at for an entry that hasn't seen traffic
in reply direction (non-assured), if it finds one, that entry is
is dropped and the new connection entry is allocated.
Allow the conntrack gc worker to also remove *assured* conntracks if
resources are low.
Do this by querying the l4 tracker, e.g. tcp connections are now dropped
if they are no longer established (e.g. in finwait).
This could be refined further, e.g. by adding 'soft' established timeout
(i.e., a timeout that is only used once we get close to resource
exhaustion).
