[NETFILTER]: nf_conntrack_core: avoid taking nf_conntrack_lock in nf_conntrack_alter_reply
The conntrack is unconfirmed, so we have an exclusive reference, which means that the write_lock is definitely unneeded. A read_lock used to be needed for the helper lookup, but since we're using RCU for helpers now rcu_read_lock is enough. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
