4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
[ Upstream commit 2314e879747e82896f51cce4488f6a00f3e1af7b ]
This patch uses nfct_help() to detect whether an established connection needs conntrack helper instead of using test_bit(IPS_HELPER_BIT, &ct->status).
The reason is that IPS_HELPER_BIT is only set when using explicit CT target.
However, in the case that a device enables conntrack helper via command "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper", the status of IPS_HELPER_BIT will not present any change, and consequently it loses the checking ability in the context.
