I don't read the source codes of ctlink command.
But it seems be correct from the kernel codes.

Please look at the function "ctnetlink_create_expect".

        if (cda[CTA_EXPECT_HELP_NAME]) {
                const char *helpname = nla_data(cda[CTA_EXPECT_HELP_NAME]);

                helper = __nf_conntrack_helper_find(helpname, u3,
                                                    nf_ct_protonum(ct));
The helper is got by cda[CTA_EXPECT_HELP_NAME].

Then go to the function ctnetlink_alloc_expect,

        if (cda[CTA_EXPECT_FN]) {
                const char *name = nla_data(cda[CTA_EXPECT_FN]);
                struct nf_ct_helper_expectfn *expfn;

                expfn = nf_ct_helper_expectfn_find_by_name(name);
The expfn is got by cda[CTA_EXPECT_FN].

So it is possible that the helper and expfn which they belongs to
different modules.

If I was right, it is not good to use one member "nat_module" to save
the module of helper and expfn at the same time.
