Florian Westphal 9976fc6e6e netfilter: conntrack: remove the l4proto->new() function
->new() gets invoked after ->error() and before ->packet() if
a conntrack lookup has found no result for the tuple.

We can fold it into ->packet() -- the packet() implementations
can check if the conntrack is confirmed (new) or not
(already in hash).

If its unconfirmed, the conntrack isn't in the hash yet so current
skb created a new conntrack entry.

Only relevant side effect -- if packet() doesn't return NF_ACCEPT
but -NF_ACCEPT (or drop), while the conntrack was just created,
then the newly allocated conntrack is freed right away, rather than not
created in the first place.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
