Subject: [PATCH] cmm: ignore conntracks without fastpath metadata
CMM receives conntrack notifications for the whole system conntrack table.
On a Kubernetes node, many entries are unrelated to Comcerto/NXP fastpath:
loopback traffic, local control-plane traffic, Cilium traffic, broadcast,
multicast, and ordinary slow-path flows.
Those entries do not necessarily carry the private fastpath attributes CMM
expects. Treat them as non-fastpathable instead of trying to process them.
