If we create a conntrack that has NAT handlings and a helper, the helper
is assigned twice. This happens because nf_nat_setup_info() - via
nf_conntrack_alter_reply() - sets the helper before ctnetlink, which
indeed does not check if the conntrack already has a helper as it thinks that
it is a brand new conntrack.
The fix moves the helper assignation before the set of the status flags.
This avoids a bogus assertion in __nf_ct_ext_add (if netfilter assertions are
enabled) which checks that the conntrack must not be confirmed.
This problem was introduced in 2.6.23 with the netfilter extension
infrastructure.

Initially netfilter has had 64bit counters for conntrack-based accounting, but
it was changed in 2.6.14 to save memory. Unfortunately in-kernel 64bit counters are
still required, for example for "connbytes" extension. However, 64bit counters
waste a lot of memory and it was not possible to enable/disable it runtime.
This patch:
- reimplements accounting with respect to the extension infrastructure,
- makes one global version of seq_print_acct() instead of two seq_print_counters(),
- makes it possible to enable it at boot time (for CONFIG_SYSCTL/CONFIG_SYSFS=n),
- makes it possible to enable/disable it at runtime by sysctl or sysfs,
- extends counters from 32bit to 64bit,
- renames ip_conntrack_counter -> nf_conn_counter,
- enables accounting code unconditionally (no longer depends on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT),
- set initial accounting enable state based on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT
- removes buggy IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING event handling.
If accounting is enabled newly created connections get additional acct extend.
Old connections are not changed as it is not possible to add a ct_extend area
to confirmed conntrack. Accounting is performed for all connections with
acct extend regardless of a current state of "net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct".

This patch groups ctnetlink errors into three logical sets:
* Malformed messages: if ctnetlink receives a message without some mandatory
attribute, then it returns EINVAL.
* Unsupported operations: if userspace tries to perform an unsupported
operation, then it returns EOPNOTSUPP.
* Unchangeable: if userspace tries to change some attribute of the
conntrack object that can only be set once, then it returns EBUSY.
This patch reduces the number of -EINVAL from 23 to 14 and it results in
5 -EBUSY and 6 -EOPNOTSUPP.

Conntrack ID is not put (anymore ?) in event messages. This causes
current ulogd2 code to fail because it uses the ID to build a hash in
userspace. This hash is used to be able to output the starting time of
a connection.
Conntrack ID can be used in userspace application to maintain an easy
match between kernel connections list and userspace one. It may worth
to add it if there is no performance related issue.

Convert conntrack hash to hlists to reduce its size and cache
footprint. Since the default hashsize to max. entries ratio
sucks (1:16), this patch doesn't reduce the amount of memory
used for the hash by default, but instead uses a better ratio
of 1:8, which results in the same max. entries value.
One thing worth noting is early_drop. It really should use LRU,
so it now has to iterate over the entire chain to find the last
unconfirmed entry. Since chains shouldn't be very long and the
entire operation is very rare this shouldn't be a problem.

When a helper module is unloaded all conntracks refering to it have their
helper pointer NULLed out, leading to lots of races. In most places this
can be fixed by proper use of RCU (they do already check for != NULL,
but in a racy way), additionally nf_conntrack_expect_related needs to
bail out when no helper is present.
Also remove two paranoid BUG_ONs in nf_conntrack_proto_gre that are racy
