The existing check might extend the timeout if the ESTABLISHED timeout
has been tuned to be lower than UNACK via sysctl. Reported by sashiko.

Fixes: bf80e6802273 ("netfilter: conntrack: tcp: use UNACK timeout for non-closing RST packets")

Not a big deal, it should only affect timeout configurations where unack timeout
is longer than established state.
