    netfilter: nf_ct_ftp: fix out of bounds read in update_nl_seq()
    
    As noticed by Dan Carpenter <error27@...il.com>, update_nl_seq()
    currently contains an out of bounds read of the seq_aft_nl array
    when looking for the oldest sequence number position.
    
    Fix it to only compare valid positions.
