When a userspace conntrack helper with multiple expectation classes is
updated via nfnetlink, every class ends up with the first class's
max_expected and timeout values.

nfnl_cthelper_update_policy_all() validates each new policy into the
corresponding slot of the temporary new_policy array, but the second
loop that commits the values into the live helper dereferences
new_policy as a pointer instead of indexing it, so every iteration
reads new_policy[0] regardless of i.  An update that changes per-class
values is silently collapsed onto class 0's values with no error
returned to userspace.

Index the temporary array by i in the commit loop so each class gets
its own validated values.
