[PATCH net 6/6] netfilter: nf_conncount: update last_gc only when GC has been performed

[Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>]

From: Fernando Fernandez Mancera <fmancera@suse.de>

Currently last_gc is being updated everytime a new connection is
tracked, that means that it is updated even if a GC wasn't performed.
With a sufficiently high packet rate, it is possible to always bypass
the GC, causing the list to grow infinitely.

Update the last_gc value only when a GC has been actually performed.

Fixes: d265929930e2 ("netfilter: nf_conncount: reduce unnecessary GC")
