[SRU][F:linux-bluefield][PATCH 0/2] reduce memory bloat and aging active ct conns

[Roi Dayan]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1922678


SRU Justification:

The patches are fixing a possible memory hog and aging active ct conns.

* Explain the bug(s)

Memory bloat and aging active ct conns can happen from any stress test
as we have a single workqueue for handling the ct offload conns
for add/del/stats actions.

* brief explanation of fixes

The fix is splitting add/del/stats for diff workqueue and also
we set a limit for add work entries.

The first patch is already upstream.

* How to test

Testing was done with just stress traffic with lots of conns different 5-tuple.

* What it could break.

Can take a lot of memory for a long time and also causing active conns to
age out when not necessary.
