netfilter: conntrack: convert nf_conntrack_update to netfilter verdicts
This function calls helpers that can return nf-verdicts, but then
those get converted to -1/0 as thats what the caller expects.
Theoretically NF_DROP could have an errno number set in the upper 24
bits of the return value. Or any of those helpers could return
NF_STOLEN, which would result in use-after-free.
This is fine as-is, the called functions don't do this yet.
But its better to avoid possible future problems if the upcoming
patchset to add NF_DROP_REASON() support gains further users, so remove
the 0/-1 translation from the picture and pass the verdicts down to
the caller.
