Users commonly create firewall rules that inspect packet content, such
as matching an HTTP host. The current implementation offloads a
connection immediately after it's established, bypassing user-defined
rules. To respect these rules, only offload a connection after certain
packets have passed through the slow path.

This change ensures that packet inspection rules are applied correctly
before offloading, improving the accuracy and effectiveness of user-
defined firewall rules.
