Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 1/1] netfilter: conntrack: Guard possible unused functions

Some of the functions may be unused (CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK_GLUE_CT=n
and CONFIG_NF_CONNTRACK_EVENTS=n), it prevents kernel builds with clang,
`make W=1` and CONFIG_WERROR=y:

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c:657:22: error: unused function 'ctnetlink_acct_size' [-Werror,-Wunused-function]
  657 | static inline size_t ctnetlink_acct_size(const struct nf_conn *ct)
      |                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c:667:19: error: unused function 'ctnetlink_secctx_size' [-Werror,-Wunused-function]
  667 | static inline int ctnetlink_secctx_size(const struct nf_conn *ct)
      |                   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c:683:22: error: unused function 'ctnetlink_timestamp_size' [-Werror,-Wunused-function]
  683 | static inline size_t ctnetlink_timestamp_size(const struct nf_conn *ct)
      |                      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fix this by guarding possible unused functions with ifdeffery.

See also commit 6863f5643dd7 ("kbuild: allow Clang to find unused static
inline functions for W=1 build").

v3: explicitly mentioned the configuration options that lead to issue (Simon)
v2: fixed typo, dropped Fixes (Simon), optimised by reusing existing ifdeffery
