    NOTRACK makes all cpus share a cache line on nf_conntrack_untracked
    twice per packet. This is bad for performance.
    __read_mostly annotation is also a bad choice.
    
    This patch introduces IPS_UNTRACKED bit so that we can use later a
    per_cpu untrack structure more easily.
    
    A new helper, nf_ct_untracked_get() returns a pointer to
    nf_conntrack_untracked.
    
    Another one, nf_ct_untracked_status_or() is used by nf_nat_init() to add
    IPS_NAT_DONE_MASK bits to untracked status.
    
    nf_ct_is_untracked() prototype is changed to work on a nf_conn pointer.
