Found the patch again. What it does is:

- note entry of next conntrack to be dumped and keep a reference to it
- when continuing, look for the conntrack and continue at it if its
  still there
- if not, dump the entire bucket again

In theory we could end up in an endless loop if the conntrack entry
we're keeping the reference to is deleted everytime we want to
continue dumping. It shouldn't be triggerable intentionally because
of the jenkins hash though. If there are no objections I'll port
it to nf_conntrack_netlink and submit it.
