netfilter: conntrack: remove timer from ecache extension
This brings the (per-conntrack) ecache extension back to 24 bytes in size
(was 152 byte on x86_64 with lockdep on).
When event delivery fails, re-delivery is attempted via work queue.
Redelivery is attempted at least every 0.1 seconds, but can happen
more frequently if userspace is not congested.
The nf_ct_release_dying_list() function is removed.
With this patch, ownership of the to-be-redelivered conntracks
(on-dying-list-with-DYING-bit not yet set) is with the work queue,
which will release the references once event is out.
Joint work with Pablo Neira Ayuso.
