[NETFILTER]: Fix kernel panic with REDIRECT target.



When connection tracking entry (nf_conn) is about to copy itself it can
have some of its extension users (like nat) as being already freed and
thus not required to be copied.

Actually looking at this function I suspect it was copied from
nf_nat_setup_info() and thus bug was introduced.

Report and testing from David <david@unsolicited.net>.

[ Patrick McHardy states:

	I now understand whats happening:

	- new connection is allocated without helper
	- connection is REDIRECTed to localhost
	- nf_nat_setup_info adds NAT extension, but doesn't initialize it yet
	- nf_conntrack_alter_reply performs a helper lookup based on the
	   new tuple, finds the SIP helper and allocates a helper extension,
	   causing reallocation because of too little space
	- nf_nat_move_storage is called with the uninitialized nat extension

	So your fix is entirely correct, thanks a lot :)  ]
