lib/conntrack: Only use given packet in protocol detection.
The current protocol detection logic relies on two pieces of metadata passed as arguments: tp_src and tp_dst, which represent the L4 source and destination port numbers from the flow that triggered the current flow rule first, and was responsible for creating the current DP flow. Since multiple network flows of many different kinds, potentially using different protocols on all layers, can be processed by one flow rule, using the metadata of some unrelated flow might lead to unexpected results. For example, ICMP type and code can be interpreted as TCP source and destination ports. This can confuse the code responsible for the helper selection, leading to errors in traffic handling and incorrect detection of related flows. One of the easiest ways to fix this problem is to simply remove the tp_src and tp_dst parameters from the picture. The current code base has no good use for them. The helper selection logic was based on these values and therefore needs to be changed. Ensure that the helper specified in a flow rule is used, given it is compatible with the L4 protocol of the packet. When a flow rule does not specify a helper, one can still be picked using the given packet's metadata like TCP/UDP ports.
