Subject: [PATCH][next] netfilter: conntrack: fix an unsigned int comparison to less than zero

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The error check to see if protoff is less than zero is always false
because it is a unsigned int.  The call to ipv6_skip_exthdr can return
negative values for an error so cast protoff to int to fix this check.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Macro compares unsigned to 0 (no effect)")
Fixes: ee04805ff54a ("netfilter: conntrack: make conntrack userspace helpers work again")
