  pf: Small performance tweak
  
  Because fetching a counter is a rather expansive function we should use
  counter_u64_fetch() in pf_state_expires() only when necessary. A "rdr
  pass" rule should not cause more effort than separate "rdr" and "pass"
  rules. For rules with adaptive timeout values the call of
  counter_u64_fetch() should be accepted, but otherwise not.
  
  From the man page:
      The adaptive timeout values can be defined both globally and for
      each rule.  When used on a per-rule basis, the values relate to the
      number of states created by the rule, otherwise to the total number
      of states.
  
  This handling of adaptive timeouts is done in pf_state_expires().  The
  calculation needs three values: start, end and states.
  
  1. Normal rules "pass .." without adaptive setting meaning "start = 0"
     runs in the else-section and therefore takes "start" and "end" from
     the global default settings and sets "states" to pf_status.states
     (= total number of states).
  
  2. Special rules like
     "pass .. keep state (adaptive.start 500 adaptive.end 1000)"
     have start != 0, run in the if-section and take "start" and "end"
     from the rule and set "states" to the number of states created by
     their rule using counter_u64_fetch().
  
  Thats all ok, but there is a third case without special handling in the
  above code snippet:
  
  3. All "rdr/nat pass .." statements use together the pf_default_rule.
     Therefore we have "start != 0" in this case and we run the
     if-section but we better should run the else-section in this case and
     do not fetch the counter of the pf_default_rule but take the total
     number of states.
