Yasuyuki Kozakai ecfab2c9fe [NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack: introduce extension infrastructure
Old space allocator of conntrack had problems about extensibility.
- It required slab cache per combination of extensions.
- It expected what extensions would be assigned, but it was impossible
  to expect that completely, then we allocated bigger memory object than
  really required.
- It needed to search helper twice due to lock issue.

Now basic informations of a connection are stored in 'struct nf_conn'.
And a storage for extension (helper, NAT) is allocated by kmalloc.
