netfilter: ctnetlink: Fix regression in conntrack entry deletion
[ Upstream commit e7600865 ] Commit f8e60898 ("netfilter: ctnetlink: Resolve conntrack L3-protocol flush regression") introduced a regression in which deletion of conntrack entries would fail because the L3 protocol information is replaced by AF_UNSPEC. As a result the search for the entry to be deleted would turn up empty due to the tuple used to perform the search is now different from the tuple used to initially set up the entry. For flushing the conntrack table we do however want to keep the option for nfgenmsg->version to have a non-zero value to allow for newer user-space tools to request treatment under the new behavior. With that it is possible to independently flush tables for a defined L3 protocol. This was introduced with the enhancements in in commit 59c08c69 ("netfilter: ctnetlink: Support L3 protocol-filter on flush"). Older user-space tools will retain the behavior of flushing all tables regardless of defined L3 protocol.
