netfilter: nat: add dependencies on conntrack module
MASQUERADE, S/DNAT and REDIRECT already call functions that depend on the conntrack module. However, since the conntrack hooks are now registered in a lazy fashion (i.e., only when needed) a symbol reference is not enough. Thus, when something is added to a nat table, make sure that it will see packets by calling nf_ct_netns_get() which will register the conntrack hooks in the current netns. An alternative would be to add these dependencies to the NAT table. However, that has problems when using non-modular builds -- we might register e.g. ipv6 conntrack before its initcall has run, leading to NULL deref crashes since its per-netns storage has not yet been allocated. Adding the dependency in the modules instead has the advantage that nat table also does not register its hooks until rules are added.
