[SRU][N:linux-bluefield][PATCH 0/1] Revert performance sinking conntrack patch

[Alessio Faina]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2150645

SRU Justification:

[Impact]

NVIDIA engineers reported a sudden drop in performance after applying
some conntrack patches. Reverting one of them after a previous one has
been already reverted by upstream.

[Fix]

Revert commit def3e30c59e

[Test case]

Compile tested
Full test will be performed by NVIDIA R&D engineers to confirm the successful
outcome after patch is reverted.

[Regression potential]

The code works in conntrack and with TCP timeouts; it can break some
TCP flows and offloading structures, leading to broken connections or
still under-performing network speed.
