openvswitch: add nf_ct_is_confirmed check before assigning the helper



A WARN_ON call trace would be triggered when 'ct(commit, alg=helper)'
applies on a confirmed connection:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1251 at net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_extend.c:98
  RIP: 0010:nf_ct_ext_add+0x12d/0x150 [nf_conntrack]
  Call Trace:

   __nf_ct_try_assign_helper+0xc4/0x160 [nf_conntrack]

   genl_family_rcv_msg_doit.isra.15+0x113/0x150
   genl_rcv_msg+0xef/0x1f0

which can be reproduced with these OVS flows:

  table=0, in_port=veth1,tcp,tcp_dst=2121,ct_state=-trk
  actions=ct(commit, table=1)
  table=1, in_port=veth1,tcp,tcp_dst=2121,ct_state=+trk+new
  actions=ct(commit, alg=ftp),normal

The issue was introduced by commit 248d45f1 ("openvswitch: Allow
attaching helper in later commit") where it somehow removed the check
of nf_ct_is_confirmed before asigning the helper. This patch is to fix
it by bringing it back.
