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.
