netfilter: nf_conntrack: don't release a conntrack with non-zero refcnt
With this patch, the conntrack refcount is initially set to zero and it is bumped once it is added to any of the list, so we fulfill Eric's golden rule which is that all released objects always have a refcount that equals zero. Andrey Vagin reports that nf_conntrack_free can't be called for a conntrack with non-zero ref-counter, because it can race with nf_conntrack_find_get(). A conntrack slab is created with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU. Non-zero ref-counter says that this conntrack is used. So when we release a conntrack with non-zero counter, we break this assumption.
