Current time is passed to conntrack_execute so it doesn't have
to recompute it again.

In a firewall testbench set up with

 table=0, priority=1 actions=drop
 table=0, priority=10,arp actions=NORMAL
 table=0, priority=100,ct_state=-trk,ip actions=ct(table=1)
 table=1, ct_state=+new+trk,ip,in_port=1 actions=ct(commit),output:2
 table=1, ct_state=+est+trk,ip,in_port=1 actions=output:2
 table=1, ct_state=+new+trk,ip,in_port=2 actions=drop
 table=1, ct_state=+est+trk,ip,in_port=2 actions=output:1

I measured packet Rx rate in Mpps (regardless of packet loss).
Bidirectional test with 64B UDP packets.

2 PMDs, 3 Tx q.

I collected the following performance figures.

Orig OvS-DPDK means Commit ID:
