[PATCH v3 4/4] netfilter: conntrack: unify established states for SCTP paths

[Sriram Yagnaraman <sriram.yagnaraman@est.tech>]

An SCTP endpoint can start an association through a path and tear it
down over another one. That means the initial path will not see the
shutdown sequence, and the conntrack entry will remain in ESTABLISHED
state for 5 days.

By merging the HEARTBEAT_ACKED and ESTABLISHED states into one
ESTABLISHED state, there remains no difference between a primary or
secondary path. The timeout for the merged ESTABLISHED state is set to
210 seconds (hb_interval * max_path_retrans + rto_max). So, even if a
path doesn't see the shutdown sequence, it will expire in a reasonable
amount of time.
