Subject: netfilter: nat: avoid use of nf_conn_nat extension

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

commit 6e699867f84c0f358fed233fe6162173aca28e04 upstream.

successful insert into the bysource hash sets IPS_SRC_NAT_DONE status bit
so we can check that instead of presence of nat extension which requires
extra deref.
