netfilter: conntrack: connection timeout after re-register

Browse Source 
If the first packet conntrack sees after a re-register is an outgoing
keepalive packet with no data (SEG.SEQ = SND.NXT-1), td_end is set to
SND.NXT-1.
When the peer correctly acknowledges SND.NXT, tcp_in_window fails
check III (Upper bound for valid (s)ack: sack <= receiver.td_end) and
returns false, which cascades into nf_conntrack_in setting
skb->_nfct = 0 and in later conntrack iptables rules not matching.
In cases where iptables are dropping packets that do not match
conntrack rules this can result in idle tcp connections to time out.

v2: adjust td_end when getting the reply rather than when sending out
    the keepalive packet.
