tools/hotplug/Linux: Avoid dependency on iptables conntrack module.

Checking for RELATED,ESTABLISHED traffic being sent to a domU requires
connection tracking, which adds unexpected (to most users) load to
dom0. Heavily loaded systems can fill the conntrack tables.

So avoid this, be more liberal in what we accept, and leave it to domU
to police its own input.
