netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix confirmation race condition

New connection tracking entries are inserted into the hash before they
are fully set up, namely the CONFIRMED bit is not set and the timer not
started yet. This can theoretically lead to a race with timer, which
would set the timeout value to a relative value, most likely already in
the past.

Perform hash insertion as the final step to fix this.
