Subject: netfilter 04/04: conntrack: check for NEXTHDR_NONE before header sanity checking

commit d1238d5337e8e53cddea77c2a26d26b6eb5a982f

    netfilter: conntrack: check for NEXTHDR_NONE before header sanity checking
    
    NEXTHDR_NONE doesn't has an IPv6 option header, so the first check
    for the length will always fail and results in a confusing message
    "too short" if debugging enabled. With this patch, we check for
    NEXTHDR_NONE before length sanity checkings are done.
