Bug Description

* Explain the bug(s)

CT state not reset when packet redirected to different port, thus
making it possible to match rules with wrong ct state on the other port.

* brief explanation of fixes

Reset ct state when redirecting to a different port.
The sauce fix being reverted and should apply the upstream fix to catch all cases correctly.

* How to test

tc qdisc add dev veth0 clsact
# The same with "action mirred egress mirror dev veth1" or "action mirred ingress redirect dev veth1"
tc filter add dev veth0 egress chain 1 protocol ip flower ct_state +trk action mirred ingress mirror dev veth1
tc filter add dev veth0 egress chain 0 protocol ip flower ct_state -inv action ct commit action goto chain 1
tc qdisc add dev veth1 clsact
tc filter add dev veth1 ingress chain 0 protocol ip flower ct_state +trk action drop

ping <remove ip via veth0> &
tc -s filter show dev veth1 ingress

With command 'tc -s filter show', we can find the pkts were dropped on veth1.

* What it could break.

Wrong matching. Traffic failure when redirecting to different ports and there are more
rules to match on the other port.
