This general protection fault is in function unregister_sysctl_table(),
because 'header' is a pointer that isn't kmalloced.
If some modules(in this case, it is GRE) forget to kmemdup sysctl table,
'pn->ctl_table' will be NULL in function nf_ct_l4proto_register_sysctl(),
and then register_net_sysctl() can't be executed, so the 'header' in
__register_sysctl_table() will never be assigned,
header = kzalloc(sizeof(struct ctl_table_header) +
sizeof(struct ctl_node)*nr_entries, GFP_KERNEL);
But pn->users will be incremented as the return value of
nf_ct_l4proto_register_sysctl() is 0.
As a result of that behavior, when doing unregister,
unregister_net_sysctl_table() will be executed. Then we will access a
pointer that isn't assigned. That's why general protection fault occurs.
This patch is to fix this general protection fault issue.
After this patch, an error message will be printed to indicate some error
happens, for example, in this case bellow message will be printed,
"nf_conntrack_gre4: pernet registration failed."
