Previously, replacing a connection tracking steering entry was done by adding a new rule (with the same tag but possibly different mod hdr actions/labels) then removing the old rule. This approach doesn't work in hardware steering because two steering entries with the same tag cannot coexist in a hardware steering table. This commit prepares for that by adding a new ct_rule_update operation on the ct_fs_ops struct which is used instead of add+delete. Implementations for both dmfs (firmware steering) and smfs (software steering) are provided, which simply add the new rule and delete the old one.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
