1/3 and 3/3 look fine.

Regarding 2/3, I'd suggest a new ctnetlink_update_status() and you use
it from ctnetlink_glue_parse_ct(). This new function allows us to set
status bits leaving what is already set intact, as you proposed.

So we leave ctnetlink_change_status() in place, but not being called
from the userspace helper path.

Thanks for fixing up this mess Kevin.
