Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2 nf] netfilter: seqadj: Fix one possible panic in seqadj when mem is exhausted

From: Gao Feng <fgao@...ai8.com>

When memory is exhausted, nfct_seqadj_ext_add may fail to add the seqadj
extension. But the function nf_ct_seqadj_init doesn't check if get valid
seqadj pointer by the nfct_seqadj, while other functions perform the
sanity check.

So the system would be panic when nfct_seqadj_ext_add failed.
