[ Upstream commitd1ca60efc5] When userspace, e.g. conntrackd, inserts an entry with a specified helper, its possible that the helper is lost immediately after its added: ctnetlink_create_conntrack -> nf_ct_helper_ext_add + assign helper -> ctnetlink_setup_nat -> ctnetlink_parse_nat_setup -> parse_nat_setup -> nfnetlink_parse_nat_setup -> nf_nat_setup_info -> nf_conntrack_alter_reply -> __nf_ct_try_assign_helper ... and __nf_ct_try_assign_helper will zero the helper again. Set IPS_HELPER bit to bypass auto-assign logic, its unwanted, just like when helper is assigned via ruleset. Dropped old 'not strictly necessary' comment, it referred to use of rcu_assign_pointer() before it got replaced by RCU_INIT_POINTER(). NB: Fixes tag intentionally incorrect, this extends the referenced commit, but this change won't build without IPS_HELPER introduced there.

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.
