Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: conntrack: add weak IPV6 dependency

Now that the conntrack module contains code for ipv6, we can no longer
have it built-in while IPv6 itself is a loadable module:

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto.o: In function `nf_ct_netns_do_get':
nf_conntrack_proto.c:(.text+0x88c): undefined reference to `nf_defrag_ipv6_enable'
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto.o:(.rodata+0x178): undefined reference to `nf_conntrack_l4proto_icmpv6'

This adds a dependency on IPv6 that makes it possible to still build
the conntrack module with IPv6 disabled, but avoids the broken configuration.

Fixes: 66c524acfb51 ("netfilter: conntrack: remove l3proto abstraction")
