You should use -e:
-e
The next parameter is the pattern. This option has to be
used for patterns starting with - and should be used in scripts
passing user input to grep.
The working command is:
$ git grep -e '->cnt' net/ipv4/netfilter/
Although there is not such pattern in net/ipv4/netfilter, maybe you
wanted '->counters' :-)
