Subject: [PATCH net-next] openvswitch: add ct_clear action

From: Eric Garver <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2017 12:44:26 -0400

This adds a ct_clear action for clearing conntrack state. ct_clear is
currently implemented in OVS userspace, but is not backed by an action
in the kernel datapath. This is useful for flows that may modify a
packet tuple after a ct lookup has already occurred.
