[PATCH 6.19 291/844] netfilter: nf_conntrack: Add allow_clash to generic protocol handler

[ Upstream commit 8a49fc8d8a3e83dc51ec05bcd4007bdea3c56eec ]
The upstream commit, 71d8c47fc653711c41bc3282e5b0e605b3727956
("netfilter: conntrack: introduce clash resolution on insertion race"),
sets allow_clash=true in the UDP/UDPLITE protocol handler
but does not set it in the generic protocol handler.
As a result, packets composed of connectionless protocols at each layer,
such as UDP over IP-in-IP, still drop packets due to conflicts during conntrack insertion.
To resolve this, this patch sets allow_clash in the nf_conntrack_l4proto_generic.
