commit a504b703bb1da526a01593da0e4be2af9d9f5fa8 upstream.
In case almost or all available ports are taken, clash resolution can take a very long time, resulting in soft lockup.
This can happen when many to-be-natted hosts connect to same destination:port (e.g. a proxy) and all connections pass the same SNAT.
Pick a random offset in the acceptable range, then try ever smaller number of adjacent port numbers, until either the limit is reached or a useable port was found. This results in at most 248 attempts (128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8, i.e. 4 restarts with new search offset) instead of 64000+,
