nf_conntrack: avoid kernel pointer value leak in slab name
commit 31b0b385f69d8d5491a4bca288e25e63f1d945d0 upstream. The slab name ends up being visible in the directory structure under /sys, and even if you don't have access rights to the file you can see the filenames. Just use a 64-bit counter instead of the pointer to the 'net' structure to generate a unique name. This code will go away in 4.7 when the conntrack code moves to a single kmemcache, but this is the backportable simple solution to avoiding leaking kernel pointers to user space.
