Wait. Can we possibly set a dummy event handler instead?
void nf_conntrack_unregister_notifier(void)
{
rcu_assign_pointer(nf_conntrack_event_cb, nfct_event_null_handler);
}
which does nothing?
It also needs to be set on initially to this null event handler?
So we can avoid the stash trick in nfnetlink too?
