netfilter: ctnetlink: do not allow to reset helper on existing conntrack
This feature allows to reset a helper for an existing conntrack, but it
is not safe. This requires a synchronized_rcu() call after resetting the
helper, which is going to be expensive for a large batch of conntrack
entries. This also needs to call to the .destroy callback to release the
GRE/PPTP mappings to fix it.
This feature antedates the creation of the conntrack-tools and I cannot
find a good use-case for this. Given that I cannot find any user in the
netfilter.org userspace tree, I prefer to remove this feature.
