netfilter: avoid race with exp->master ct
Preparation for disconnecting the nf_conntrack_lock from the
expectations code. Once the nf_conntrack_lock is lifted, a race
condition is exposed.
The expectations master conntrack exp->master, can race with
delete operations, as the refcnt increment happens too late in
init_conntrack(). Race is against other CPUs invoking
->destroy() (destroy_conntrack()), or nf_ct_delete() (via timeout
or early_drop()).
Avoid this race in nf_ct_find_expectation() by using atomic_inc_not_zero(),
and checking if nf_ct_is_dying() (path via nf_ct_delete()).
