netfilter: ctnetlink: don't dump ct extensions of unconfirmed conntracks
When dumping the unconfirmed lists, the cpu that is processing the ct
entry can reallocate ct->ext at any time.
Right now accessing the extensions from another CPU is ok provided
we're holding rcu read lock: extension reallocation does use rcu.
Once RCU isn't used anymore this becomes unsafe, so skip extensions for
the unconfirmed list.
Dumping the extension area for confirmed or dying conntracks is fine:
no reallocations are allowed and list iteration holds appropriate
locks that prevent ct (and this ct->ext) from getting free'd.
v2: fix compiler warnings due to misue of 'const' and missing return
statement (kbuild robot).
