[PATCH net-next v2] openvswitch: add ct_clear action

[PATCH net-next v2] openvswitch: add ct_clear action

[Eric Garver]

This adds a ct_clear action for clearing conntrack state. ct_clear is
currently implemented in OVS userspace, but is not backed by an action
in the kernel datapath. This is useful for flows that may modify a
packet tuple after a ct lookup has already occurred.

v2:
	- Use IP_CT_UNTRACKED for nf_ct_set()
	- Only fill key if previously conntracked

Applied.
