netfilter: conntrack: fix rmmod double-free race

nf_conntrack_hash_check_insert() callers free the ct entry directly, via
nf_conntrack_free.

This isn't safe anymore because
nf_conntrack_hash_check_insert() might place the entry into the conntrack
table and then delteted the entry again because it found that a conntrack
extension has been removed at the same time.

In this case, the just-added entry is removed again and an error is
returned to the caller.

Problem is that another cpu might have picked up this entry and
incremented its reference count.

This results in a use-after-free/double-free, once by the other cpu and
once by the caller of nf_conntrack_hash_check_insert().

Fix this by making nf_conntrack_hash_check_insert() not fail anymore
after the insertion, just like before the 'Fixes' commit.

This is safe because a racing nf_ct_iterate() has to wait for us
to release the conntrack hash spinlocks.

While at it, make the function return -EAGAIN in the rmmod (genid
changed) case, this makes nfnetlink replay the command (suggested
by Pablo Neira).
