    net: prefer nf_ct_put instead of nf_conntrack_put
    
    [ Upstream commit 408bdcfce8dfd6902f75fbcd3b99d8b24b506597 ]
    
    Its the same as nf_conntrack_put(), but without the
    need for an indirect call.  The downside is a module dependency on
    nf_conntrack, but all of these already depend on conntrack anyway.
