I think this is part of the same logical change, ie. nf_ct_ext_add()
returns NULL, then I would also fix nfct_synproxy_ext_add() in this
go.

ctnetlink may have created a conntrack with seqadj in place by when we
call nf_nat_setup_info() so NF_ACCEPT would be more conservative, eg.
via conntrackd state synchronization.

Actually, after a quick look at ctnetlink, I don't see any any call to
nfct_seqadj_ext_add() from there, so I suspect this is broken since
SYNPROXY was introduced. It would be great if you can review this and
send us patches to fix this, if indeed needed.

Thanks!
