[PATCH net-next 03/17] netfilter: conntrack: remove the percpu dying list

[Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>]

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

Its no longer needed. Entries that need event redelivery are placed
on the new pernet dying list.

The advantage is that there is no need to take additional spinlock on
conntrack removal unless event redelivery failed or the conntrack entry
was never added to the table in the first place (confirmed bit not set).

The IPS_CONFIRMED bit now needs to be set as soon as the entry has been
unlinked from the unconfirmed list, else the destroy function may
attempt to unlink it a second time.
