[SRU C, D/Unstable][PATCH 1/1] netfilter: nf_conncount: don't skip eviction when age is negative

From: Florian Westphal <fw at strlen.de>

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1811094

age is signed integer, so result can be negative when the timestamps
have a large delta.  In this case we want to discard the entry.

Instead of using age >= 2 || age < 0, just make it unsigned.
