[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: reduce timer updates in __nf_ct_refresh_acct()

Only update the conntrack timer if there's been at least HZ jiffies since
the last update. Reduces the number of del_timer/add_timer cycles from one
per packet to one per connection per second (plus once for each state change
of a connection)

Should handle timer wraparounds and connection timeout changes.
