This commit is now in -next as commit 0fabd2aa199f ("net: netfilter: add
bpf_ct_set_nat_info kfunc helper"). Unfortunately, it introduces a
circular dependency when I build with my distribution's (Arch Linux)
configuration:

$ curl -LSso .config https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/raw/packages/linux/trunk/config

$ make -skj"$(nproc)" INSTALL_MOD_PATH=rootfs INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 olddefconfig all modules_install
...

depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: nf_conntrack -> nf_nat -> nf_conntrack
depmod: ERROR: Found 2 modules in dependency cycles!
...

The WARN lines are there before this change but I figured they were
worth including anyways, in case they factor in here.

If there is any more information I can provide or patches I can test,
please let me know!

Cheers,
Nathan
