From: Gao Feng fgao@ikuai8.com
[ Upstream commit 75c689dca98851d65ef5a27e5ce26b625b68751c ]
In the commit 93557f53e1fb ("netfilter: nf_conntrack: nf_conntrack snmp helper"), the snmp_helper is replaced by nf_nat_snmp_hook. So the snmp_helper is never registered. But it still tries to unregister the snmp_helper, it could cause the panic.
Now remove the useless snmp_helper and the unregister call in the error handler.
