In nf_conntrack, IP_CT_RELATED and IP_CT_NEW do not exist at the same
time. With this patch, we expect OVS_CS_F_RELATED and OVS_CS_F_NEW
are set at the same time by ovs_ct_update_key() when this related ct
is not confirmed.

The check-kernel test of "FTP SNAT orig tuple" skiped on my env somehow:

# make check-kernel
144: conntrack - FTP SNAT orig tuple   skipped (system-traffic.at:7295)

Any idea why? or do you know any other testcase that expects +new+rel+trk
but returns +rel+trk only?

Thanks.
