netfilter: set default timeout to 3 secs for sctp shutdown send and recv state

In SCTP protocol, it is using the same timer (T2 timer) for SHUTDOWN and
SHUTDOWN_ACK retransmission. However in sctp conntrack the default timeout
value for SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_ACK_SENT state is 3 secs while it's 300
msecs for SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_SEND/RECV state.

As Paolo Valerio noticed, this might cause unwanted expiration of the ct
entry. In my test, with 1s tc netem delay set on the NAT path, after the
SHUTDOWN is sent, the sctp ct entry enters SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_SEND
state. However, due to 300ms (too short) delay, when the SHUTDOWN_ACK is
sent back from the peer, the sctp ct entry has expired and been deleted,
and then the SHUTDOWN_ACK has to be dropped.

Also, it is confusing these two sysctl options always show 0 due to all
timeout values using sec as unit:

net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_sctp_timeout_shutdown_recd = 0
net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_sctp_timeout_shutdown_sent = 0

This patch fixes it by also using 3 secs for sctp shutdown send and recv
state in sctp conntrack, which is also RTO.initial value in SCTP protocol.

Note that the very short time value for SCTP_CONNTRACK_SHUTDOWN_SEND/RECV
was probably used for a rare scenario where SHUTDOWN is sent on 1st path
but SHUTDOWN_ACK is replied on 2nd path, then a new connection started
immediately on 1st path. So this patch also moves from SHUTDOWN_SEND/RECV
to CLOSE when receiving INIT in the ORIGINAL direction.

netfilter: conntrack: unify established states for SCTP paths

An SCTP endpoint can start an association through a path and tear it
down over another one. That means the initial path will not see the
shutdown sequence, and the conntrack entry will remain in ESTABLISHED
state for 5 days.

By merging the HEARTBEAT_ACKED and ESTABLISHED states into one
ESTABLISHED state, there remains no difference between a primary or
secondary path. The timeout for the merged ESTABLISHED state is set to
210 seconds (hb_interval * max_path_retrans + rto_max). So, even if a
path doesn't see the shutdown sequence, it will expire in a reasonable
amount of time.

With this change in place, there is now more than one state from which
we can transition to ESTABLISHED, COOKIE_ECHOED and HEARTBEAT_SENT, so
handle the setting of ASSURED bit whenever a state change has happened
and the new state is ESTABLISHED. Removed the check for dir==REPLY since
the transition to ESTABLISHED can happen only in the reply direction.

netfilter: conntrack: add nf_conntrack_events autodetect mode

This adds the new nf_conntrack_events=2 mode and makes it the
default.

This leverages the earlier flag in struct net to allow to avoid
the event extension as long as no event listener is active in
the namespace.

This avoids, for most cases, allocation of ct->ext area.
A followup patch will take further advantage of this by avoiding
calls down into the event framework if the extension isn't present.

netfilter: conntrack: sanitize table size default settings

conntrack has two distinct table size settings:
nf_conntrack_max and nf_conntrack_buckets.

The former limits how many conntrack objects are allowed to exist
in each namespace.

The second sets the size of the hashtable.

As all entries are inserted twice (once for original direction, once for
reply), there should be at least twice as many buckets in the table than
the maximum number of conntrack objects that can exist at the same time.

Change the default multiplier to 1 and increase the chosen bucket sizes.
This results in the same nf_conntrack_max settings as before but reduces
the average bucket list length.

netfilter: conntrack: remove offload_pickup sysctl again

These two sysctls were added because the hardcoded defaults (2 minutes,
tcp, 30 seconds, udp) turned out to be too low for some setups.

They appeared in 5.14-rc1 so it should be fine to remove it again.

Marcelo convinced me that there should be no difference between a flow
that was offloaded vs. a flow that was not wrt. timeout handling.
Thus the default is changed to those for TCP established and UDP stream,
5 days and 120 seconds, respectively.

Marcelo also suggested to account for the timeout value used for the
offloading, this avoids increase beyond the value in the conntrack-sysctl
and will also instantly expire the conntrack entry with altered sysctls.

Example:
nf_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream=60
nf_flowtable_udp_timeout=60

This will remove offloaded udp flows after one minute, rather than two.

An earlier version of this patch also cleared the ASSURED bit to
allow nf_conntrack to evict the entry via early_drop (i.e., table full).
However, it looks like we can safely assume that connection timed out
via HW is still in established state, so this isn't needed.

Quoting Oz:
[..] the hardware sends all packets with a set FIN flags to sw.
[..] Connections that are aged in hardware are expected to be in the
established state.

In case it turns out that back-to-sw-path transition can occur for
'dodgy' connections too (e.g., one side disappeared while software-path
would have been in RETRANS timeout), we can adjust this later.
