The pointer check usually results in a 'false positive': its likely that the ctnetlink module is loaded but no event monitoring is enabled. After recent change to autodetect ctnetlink usage and only allocate the ecache extension if a listener is active, check if the extension is present on a given conntrack. If its not there, there is nothing to report and calls to the notification framework can be elided.
