Subject: [PATCH 5.6 175/177] netfilter: conntrack: comparison of unsigned in cthelper confirmation

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@...filter.org>

commit 94945ad2b330207cded0fd8d4abebde43a776dfb upstream.

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c: In function nf_confirm_cthelper:
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:2117:15: warning: comparison of unsigned expression in < 0 is always false [-Wtype-limits]
 2117 |   if (protoff < 0 || (frag_off & htons(~0x7)) != 0)
      |               ^

ipv6_skip_exthdr() returns a signed integer.
