    netfilter: nf_ct_icmp: keep the ICMP ct entries longer
    
    Current conntrack code kills the ICMP conntrack entry as soon as
    the first reply is received. This is incorrect, as we then see only
    the first ICMP echo reply out of several possible duplicates as
    ESTABLISHED, while the rest will be INVALID. Also this unnecessarily
    increases the conntrackd traffic on H-A firewalls.
    
    Make all the ICMP conntrack entries (including the replied ones)
    last for the default of nf_conntrack_icmp{,v6}_timeout seconds.
