Good point, I didn't think of that. Its a bit tricky though, we can't
destroy them while holding nf_conntrack_lock, so we'd either have to
release and re-grab it for every conntrack we want to kill or write
lock it from the beginning, clean them from the lists immediately and
put them on a temporary destruction queue. Or split death_by_timeout
so it can deal with callers already holding nf_conntrack_lock ..

I'll see if I can come up with a halfway decent looking patch :)
