VRF devices use an optimized direct path on output if a default qdisc
is involved, calling Netfilter hooks directly. This path, however, does
not consider Netfilter rules completing asynchronously, such as with
NFQUEUE. The Netfilter okfn() is called for asynchronously accepted
packets, but the VRF never passes that packet down the stack to send
it out over the slave device. Using the slower redirect path for this
seems not feasible, as we do not know beforehand if a Netfilter hook
has asynchronously completing rules.

Fix the use of asynchronously completing Netfilter rules in OUTPUT and
POSTROUTING by using a special completion function that additionally
calls dst_output() to pass the packet down the stack. Also, slightly
adjust the use of nf_reset_ct() so that is called in the asynchronous
case, too.
