netfilter: nf_queue: drop packets with cloned unconfirmed conntracks

Conntrack assumes an unconfirmed entry (not yet committed to global hash
table) has a refcount of 1 and is not visible to other cores.

With multicast forwarding this assumption breaks down because such
skbs get cloned after being picked up, i.e.  ct->use refcount is > 1.

Likewise, bridge netfilter will clone broad/mutlicast frames and
all frames in case they need to be flood-forwarded during learning
phase.

For ip multicast forwarding or plain bridge flood-forward this will
"work" because packets don't leave softirq and are implicitly
serialized.

With nfqueue this no longer holds true, the packets get queued
and can be reinjected in arbitrary ways.

Disable this feature, I see no other solution.

After this patch, nfqueue cannot queue packets except the last
multicast/broadcast packet.
