    netfilter: ctnetlink: cleanup conntrack update preliminary checkings
    
    This patch moves the preliminary checkings that must be fulfilled
    to update a conntrack, which are the following:
    
     * NAT manglings cannot be updated
     * Changing the master conntrack is not allowed.
    
    This patch is a cleanup.
