Subject: [PATCH net 1/7] netfilter: conntrack: fix ipv6 exthdr error check

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

smatch warnings:
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto.c:167 nf_confirm() warn: unsigned 'protoff' is never less than zero.

We need to check if ipv6_skip_exthdr() returned an error, but protoff is
unsigned.  Use a signed integer for this.

Fixes: a70e483460d5 ("netfilter: conntrack: merge ipv4+ipv6 confirm functions")
