[ Upstream commit e1f543dc660b44618a1bd72ddb4ca0828a95f7ad ]
An nf_conntrack_helper from nf_conn_help may become NULL after DNAT.
Observed when TCP port 1720 (Q931_PORT), associated with h323 conntrack
helper, is DNAT'ed to another destination port (e.g. 1730), while
nfqueue is being used for final acceptance (e.g. snort).
This happenned after transition from kernel 4.14 to 5.10.161.
Workarounds:
* keep the same port (1720) in DNAT
* disable nfqueue
* disable/unload h323 NAT helper
