Hello all,

These are a couple of patches that I will be using in order to solve a problem
I am having with (permanent) expectation timeouts not being able to be updated.

Initial testing tells me that these work; when I call NFCT_Q_CREATE_UPDATE with
an existing permanent expectation, it updates it correctly with the new timeout
value. I use nfexp_query directly (rather than through conntrack-tools).

Anyway, this is something that was useful to me, so I'm not sure if you guys
would like these patches upstream but also, am I doing this correctly 
(especially with respect to locking), or is there any other thing I may have
overlooked?

Thanks,
Kelvie
