Existing nf_nat_sip: phone sends unauthenticated REGISTER requests
over and over again, because it is not seeing the replies sent back to
port 50070:

Patched nf_nat_sip: router sends the replies back to port 5060, so the
phone is now able to register itself and make calls:

BTW, I thought of two possible issues with the original patch:

1) Might need to call skb_make_writable() prior to modifying the
packet.  Presumably the second invocation inside
nf_nat_mangle_udp_packet() will have no effect.

(Is there a cleaner way to mangle just the port number?  Most of the
utility functions only help with modifying the data area.)

2) I should probably be checking to make sure request == 0 before
mangling the packet.  The current behavior is harmless if the SIP
proxy is on port 5060, but that might not always be the case.

I can roll these, along with any other suggestions, into v2.
