netfilter: conntrack: make conntrack userspace helpers work again
Florian Westphal says: "Problem is that after the helper hook was merged back into the confirm one, the queueing itself occurs from the confirm hook, i.e. we queue from the last netfilter callback in the hook-list. Therefore, on return, the packet bypasses the confirm action and the connection is never committed to the main conntrack table. To fix this there are several ways: 1. revert the 'Fixes' commit and have a extra helper hook again. Works, but has the drawback of adding another indirect call for everyone. 2. Special case this: split the hooks only when userspace helper gets added, so queueing occurs at a lower priority again, and normal enqueue reinject would eventually call the last hook. 3. Extend the existing nf_queue ct update hook to allow a forced confirmation (plus run the seqadj code). This goes for 3)."
