Florian Westphal 339031bafe netfilter: conntrack: fix boot failure with nf_conntrack.enable_hooks=1
This is a revert of
7b1957b049 ("netfilter: nf_defrag_ipv4: use net_generic infra")
and a partial revert of
8b0adbe3e3 ("netfilter: nf_defrag_ipv6: use net_generic infra").

If conntrack is builtin and kernel is booted with:
nf_conntrack.enable_hooks=1

.... kernel will fail to boot due to a NULL deref in
nf_defrag_ipv4_enable(): Its called before the ipv4 defrag initcall is
made, so net_generic() returns NULL.

To resolve this, move the user refcount back to struct net so calls
to those functions are possible even before their initcalls have run.

Fixes: 7b1957b049 ("netfilter: nf_defrag_ipv4: use net_generic infra")
Fixes: 8b0adbe3e3 ("netfilter: nf_defrag_ipv6: use net_generic infra").

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
