[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: TCP conntrack reopening fix
TCP connection tracking in netfilter did not handle TCP reopening
properly: active close was taken into account for one side only and
not for any side, which is fixed now. The patch includes more comments
to explain the logic how the different cases are handled.
The bug was discovered by Jeff Chua.
