Ilya Maximets dad19b59da net/sched: act_ct: fix helper UAF due to extensions realloc
While calling the helpers, a raw pointer to the extensions area is
wired into expectations list:

  -> nf_ct_helper()
   -> helper->help()
    -> nf_ct_expect_related_report()
     -> nf_ct_expect_insert()
      -> hlist_add_head_rcu(&exp->lnode, &master_help->expectations)

In case the connection is not confirmed yet, more extensions can be
added afterwards with *_ext_add() calls reallocating the extension
space and leaving the now invalid pointer in the expectations list
that is later accessed while removing the expectation.

Make sure that helpers are called at the end after all the other
extensions are already added.

Note that the helper rejection now leaves the mark and labels set,
but that's not different from how the NAT was handled before or how
the mark and the labels were handled on confirmation failure.  And
there are no atomicity guarantees provided by the API anyway.
