netfilter: nf_conntrack: decrement global counter after object release
nf_conntrack_free() decrements our counter (net->ct.count)
before releasing the conntrack object. That counter is used in the
nf_conntrack_cleanup_net_list path to check if it's time to
kmem_cache_destroy our cache of conntrack objects. I think we have
a race there that should be easier to trigger (although still hard)
with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_FREE as object releases become slowier
according to the following splat:
