netfilter: conntrack: fix race between nf_conntrack proc read and hash resize

When we do "cat /proc/net/nf_conntrack", and meanwhile resize the conntrack
hash table via /sys/module/nf_conntrack/parameters/hashsize, race will
happen, because reader can observe a newly allocated hash but the old size
(or vice versa). So oops will happen like follows：

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000017
  IP: [<ffffffffa0418e21>] seq_print_acct+0x11/0x50 [nf_conntrack]
  Call Trace:

  [<ffffffff817c2572>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1a/0xa4

It is very easy to reproduce this kernel crash.
1. open one shell and input the following cmds:
  while : ; do
    echo $RANDOM > /sys/module/nf_conntrack/parameters/hashsize
  done
2. open more shells and input the following cmds:
  while : ; do
    cat /proc/net/nf_conntrack
  done
3. just wait a monent, oops will happen soon.

The solution in this patch is based on Florian's Commit 5e3c61f981
("netfilter: conntrack: fix lookup race during hash resize"). And
add a wrapper function nf_conntrack_get_ht to get hash and hsize
suggested by Florian Westphal.
