In patch [1] rpl_nf_conntrack_in was backported as static inline
function without do..while loop handling NF_REPEAT error.
In patch [2] rpl_nf_conntrack_in backported function was removed
from compat/include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.h as an unused.
As a result the do..while loop around nf_conntrack_in was lost and
this caused problems on old RHEL kernels with the tcp SYN
loss on a connection with same 5-tuple, which ran in last
nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_time_wait. The connection could be
initiated on a tcp SYN retry after one second.
