This patch fixes a segmentation fault that occurs when querying the
age action of an indirect flow rule using connection tracking.

Steps to reproduce:
 1. Create an indirect action:
    flow indirect_action 0 create ingress action conntrack / end

 2. Create a root flow rule with a jump:
    flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / end /
         actions jump group 3 / end

 3. Create a group 3 rule using the indirect action:
    flow create 0 group 3 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp / end /
         actions indirect 0 / jump group 5 / end

 4. Create a group 5 rule matching on conntrack state:
    flow create 0 group 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / tcp /
         conntrack is 1 / end actions queue index 5 / end

 5. Querying the first rule causes a segmentation fault:
    flow query 0 1 age

This patch ensures proper handling of the indirect action with
conntrack to prevent this crash.
