openvswitch: avoid reallocating confirmed conntrack labels
ovs_ct_get_conn_labels() adds the labels extension when a conntrack entry does not have one. Confirmed conntracks can be read locklessly, so adding an extension may reallocate and free the extension block while another CPU accesses it.
Only add the extension for unconfirmed conntracks. A confirmed conntrack without labels now fails the caller's label operation instead of reallocating its extension storage.
