This is the first in a series of patches to offload conntrack
to the nfp. The approach followed is to flatten out three
different flow rules into a single offloaded flow. The three
different flows are:

1) The rule sending the packet to conntrack (pre_ct)
2) The rule matching on +trk+est after a packet has been through
   conntrack. (post_ct)
3) The rule received via callback from the netfilter (nft)

In order to offload a flow we need a combination of all three flows, but
they could be added/deleted at different times and in different order.
