netfilter: ctnetlink: drop the incorrect cthelper module request
First, when creating a new ct, we will invoke request_module to try to load the related inkernel cthelper. So there's no need to call the request_module again when updating the ct helpinfo. Second, ctnetlink_change_helper may be called with rcu_read_lock held, i.e. rcu_read_lock -> nfqnl_recv_verdict -> nfqnl_ct_parse -> ctnetlink_glue_parse -> ctnetlink_glue_parse_ct -> ctnetlink_change_helper. But the request_module invocation may sleep, so we can't call it with the rcu_read_lock held. Remove it now.
