[PATCH 3.12 066/124] netfilter: nfnetlink_cthelper: Remove 'const' and '&' to avoid warnings

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Chen Gang <gang.chen.5i5j@xxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit b18c5d15e8714336365d9d51782d5b53afa0443c upstream.

The related code can be simplified, and also can avoid related warnings
(with allmodconfig under parisc):
