[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: early_drop improvement
When the maximum number of conntrack entries is reached and a new
one needs to be allocated, conntrack tries to drop an unassured
connection from the same hash bucket the new conntrack would hash
to. Since with a properly sized hash the average number of entries
per bucket is 1, the chances of actually finding one are not very
good. This patch makes it walk the hash until a minimum number of
8 entries are checked.
Based on patch by Vasily Averin <vvs@sw.ru>.
