[libnetfilter_conntrack PATCH] expect/conntrack: Avoid spurious covscan overrun warning

[Phil Sutter <phil@xxxxxx>]

It doesn't like how memset() is called for a struct nfnlhdr pointer with
large size value. Pass void pointers instead. This also removes the call
from __build_{expect,conntrack}() which is duplicate in
__build_query_{exp,ct}() code-path.
