The filter.h is only needed by nf_conntrack_bpf.c?  How about moving 
this include to nf_conntrack_bpf.c.  nf_conntrack_bpf.h is included by 
other conntrack core codes.  I would prefer not to spill over 
unnecessary bpf headers to them.  The same goes for the above bpf.h and 
btf.h which are only needed in nf_conntrack_bpf.c also?

Also, is mutex.h still needed?
