Subject: netfilter: expect: fix crash when putting uninited expectation

From: Florian Westphal <[email protected]>

commit 36ac344e16e04e3e55e8fed7446095a6458c64e6 upstream.

We crash in __nf_ct_expect_check, it calls nf_ct_remove_expect on the uninitialised expectation instead of existing one, so del_timer chokes on random memory address.
