[PATCH net 2/6] netfilter: flowtable: avoid possible false sharing

[Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>]

The flowtable follows the same timeout approach as conntrack, use the
same idiom as in cc16921351d8 ("netfilter: conntrack: avoid same-timeout
update") but also include the fix provided by e37542ba111f ("netfilter:
conntrack: avoid possible false sharing").
