Seems there is no way to hide fixes from stable guys :-)

Seriously, I don't think there is anything going to break here because
'modinfo nfct-helper-netbios_ns' and 'modinfo nfct-helper-netbios-ns'
return same module.

OTOH, this was noticed by pure coincidence; I don't think its
important to have it in stable.
