It should not be boolean,because We don't know what's the right time to set it false.
Just like nf_conntrack_l4proto_tcp(4,6), they both use nf_tcp_net,we can set it false
only when tcp4 and tcp6 are unregistered, so we need a referenct count here to point
out if one proto has initialied the nf_tcp_net, or if there are no protos use nf_tcp_net.

Though it maybe confusing,we can regard it as the reference count of nf_proto_net(how
many protos are using nf_proto_net), and this reference count is increased when
l4proto being registered success(no matter sysctl is enabled or disabled).
