Same thing here, we're leaking memory allocated by l4proto->init_net.

Better replace the two lines above by:

goto out_register_net;

and then...

out_register_net:
        nf_ct_l4proto_unregister_sysctl(net, pn, l4proto);

I think that this change is similar to patch 1/1, I think you should
send it as a separated patch.
