Subject: [PATCH] ipvs: avoid oops in nf_ct_seqadj_set when called from
	ip_vs_ftp helper

The IPVS FTP helper ip_vs_ftp can trigger an OOPS in nf_ct_seqadj_set,
after commit 41d73ec053d2 (netfilter: nf_conntrack: make sequence
number adjustments usuable without NAT).

We can avoid the oops in nf_ct_seqadj_set() by in ip_vs_ftp_out()
instead of calling nf_nat_mangle_tcp_packet() we simply call
__nf_nat_mangle_tcp_packet() with a "false" last parameter, which
indicate not invoking the seqadj code.

After this fix, I've tested that FTP over IPVS, with module ip_vs_ftp
loaded, works for both passive and active FTP.

Fixes: 41d73ec053d2 (netfilter: nf_conntrack: make sequence number adjustments usuable without NAT)

I'm uncertain if this is the correct fix.  Perhaps the ip_vs_ftp
helper need to allocate/init the seqadj extension instead?
