netfilter: conntrack: use nf_ct_tmpl_free in CT/synproxy error paths
Commit 0838aa7fcfcd ("netfilter: fix netns dependencies with conntrack
templates") migrated templates to the new allocator api, but forgot to
update error paths for them in CT and synproxy to use nf_ct_tmpl_free()
instead of nf_conntrack_free().
Due to that, memory is being freed into the wrong kmemcache, but also
we drop the per net reference count of ct objects causing an imbalance.
In Brad's case, this leads to a wrap-around of net->ct.count and thus
lets __nf_conntrack_alloc() refuse to create a new ct object:
[ 10.340913] xt_addrtype: ipv6 does not support BROADCAST matching
[ 10.810168] nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet
[ 11.917416] r8169 0000:07:00.0 eth0: link up
[ 11.917438] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
[ 12.815902] nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet
[ 15.688561] nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet
[ 15.689365] nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet
[ 15.690169] nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet
[ 15.690967] nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet
[...]
With slab debugging, it also reports the wrong kmemcache (kmalloc-512 vs.
nf_conntrack_ffffffff81ce75c0) and reports poison overwrites, etc. Thus,
to fix the problem, export and use nf_ct_tmpl_free() instead.
