Pablo Neira Ayuso 9c42bc9db9 netfilter: nf_conntrack_expect: honor expectation helper field
The expectation helper field is mostly unused. As a result, the
netfilter codebase relies on accessing the helper through exp->master.

Always set on the expectation helper field so it can be used to reach
the helper.

nf_ct_expect_init() is called from packet path where the skb owns
the ct object, therefore accessing exp->master for the newly created
expectation is safe. This saves a lot of updates in all callsites
to pass the ct object as parameter to nf_ct_expect_init().

This is a preparation patches for follow up fixes.
