After the below patch, the conntrack attached to skb is set to "notrack" in the context of vrf device, for locally generated packets. But this is true only when the default qdisc is set to the vrf device. When changing the qdisc, notrack is not set anymore. In fact, there is a shortcut in the vrf driver, when the default qdisc is set, see commit dcdd43c41e60 ("net: vrf: performance improvements for IPv4") for more details. This patch ensures that the behavior is always the same, whatever the qdisc is. To demonstrate the difference, a new test is added in conntrack_vrf.sh.
