conntrack: skip sending update message to kernel if conntrack is unchanged
This speeds up operation when a lot of conntracks exist, but only a few of them have to be altered. This change is user-visible because the exit message ("%d flow entries have been updated") will now print the number of entries that have been altered instead of the total number of conntracks seen.
