[PATCH 4.4 38/97] netfilter: xt_CT: fix refcnt leak on error path

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

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

------------------

From: Gao Feng <fgao@xxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit 470acf55a021713869b9bcc967268ac90c8a0fac ]

There are two cases which causes refcnt leak.

1. When nf_ct_timeout_ext_add failed in xt_ct_set_timeout, it should
free the timeout refcnt.
Now goto the err_put_timeout error handler instead of going ahead.

2. When the time policy is not found, we should call module_put.
Otherwise, the related cthelper module cannot be removed anymore.
It is easy to reproduce by typing the following command:
# iptables -t raw -A OUTPUT -p tcp -j CT --helper ftp --timeout xxx
