netfilter: nft_ct: expectation timeouts are passed in milliseconds
Userspace passes '5000' in case user asks for 5 seconds. Allowing for sub-second expectation lifetimes makes sense to me. so fix up the kernel side instead of munging nft to send a value rounded up to next second. Also note that this violates nft convention of passing integers in network byte order, but we can't change this anymore.
