[PATCH 6.1 35/72] netfilter: nf_conncount: update last_gc only when GC has been performed

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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

[ Upstream commit 7811ba452402d58628e68faedf38745b3d485e3c ]

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.
