[ Upstream commit 95eabdd207024312876d0ebed90b4c977e050e85 ]

Commit 2cfadb761d3d ("netfilter: conntrack: revisit gc autotuning")
changed the eviction rescheduling to the use average expiry of scanned
entries (within 1-60s) by doing:

  for (...) {
      expires = clamp(nf_ct_expires(tmp), ...);
      next_run += expires;
      next_run /= 2;
  }

The issue is the above will make the average ('next_run' here) more
dependent on the last expiration values than the firsts (for sets > 2).
Depending on the expiration values used to compute the average, the
result can be quite different than what's expected. To fix this we can
do the following:

  for (...) {
      expires = clamp(nf_ct_expires(tmp), ...);
      next_run += (expires - next_run) / ++count;
  }
