Subject: [PATCH 05/19] netfilter: nf_queue: relax NFQA_CT attribute check

From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

Allow modifying attributes of the conntrack associated with a packet
without first requesting ct data via CFG_F_CONNTRACK or extra
nfnetlink_conntrack socket.

Also remove unneded rcu_read_lock; the entire function is already
protected by rcu.
