netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: get helper before allocating expectation

process_register_request() allocates an expectation and then checks
whether a conntrack helper is available. If helper lookup fails, the
function returns early and the allocated expectation is left behind.

Reorder the code to fetch and validate helper before calling
nf_ct_expect_alloc(). This keeps the logic simpler and removes the leak
path while preserving existing behavior.
