netfilter: conntrack: Avoid nf_ct_helper_hash uses after free

If nf_conntrack_init_start() fails (for example due to a
register_nf_conntrack_bpf() failure), the nf_conntrack_helper_fini()
clean-up path frees the nf_ct_helper_hash map.

When built with NF_CONNTRACK=y, further netfilter modules (e.g:
netfilter_conntrack_ftp) can still be loaded and call
nf_conntrack_helpers_register(), independently of whether nf_conntrack
initialized correctly. This accesses the nf_ct_helper_hash dangling
pointer and causes a uaf, possibly leading to random memory corruption.

This patch guards nf_conntrack_helper_register() from accessing a freed
or uninitialized nf_ct_helper_hash pointer and fixes possible
uses-after-free when loading a conntrack module.

netfilter: remove nf_conntrack_helper sysctl and modparam toggles

__nf_ct_try_assign_helper() remains in place but it now requires a
template to configure the helper.

A toggle to disable automatic helper assignment was added by:

a9006892643a ("netfilter: nf_ct_helper: allow to disable automatic helper assignment")

in 2012 to address the issues described in "Secure use of iptables and
connection tracking helpers". Automatic conntrack helper assignment was
disabled by:

3bb398d925ec ("netfilter: nf_ct_helper: disable automatic helper assignment")

back in 2016.

This patch removes the sysctl and modparam toggles, users now have to
rely on explicit conntrack helper configuration via ruleset.

Update tools/testing/selftests/netfilter/nft_conntrack_helper.sh to
check that auto-assignment does not happen anymore.
