Subject: netfilter: nf_conntrack_expect: store netns and zone in expectation

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>

[ Upstream commit 02a3231b6d82efe750da6554ebf280e4a6f78756 ]

__nf_ct_expect_find() and nf_ct_expect_find_get() are called under
rcu_read_lock() but they dereference the master conntrack via
exp->master.

Since the expectation does not hold a reference on the master conntrack,
this could be dying conntrack or different recycled conntrack than the
real master due to SLAB_TYPESAFE_RCU.

Store the netns, the master_tuple and the zone in struct
nf_conntrack_expect as a safety measure.

This patch is required by the follow up fix not to dump expectations
that do not belong to this netns.
