Florian Westphal 67e4860eee netfilter: conntrack: avoid useless indirection during conntrack destruction
commit 6ae7989c9af0d98ab64196f4f4c6f6499454bd23 upstream.

nf_ct_put() results in a usesless indirection:

nf_ct_put -> nf_conntrack_put -> nf_conntrack_destroy -> rcu readlock +
indirect call of ct_hooks->destroy().

There are two _put helpers:
nf_ct_put and nf_conntrack_put.  The latter is what should be used in
code that MUST NOT cause a linker dependency on the conntrack module
(e.g. calls from core network stack).

Everyone else should call nf_ct_put() instead.

A followup patch will convert a few nf_conntrack_put() calls to
nf_ct_put(), in particular from modules that already have a conntrack
dependency such as act_ct or even nf_conntrack itself.
