[PATCH nf v5 1/1] netfilter: snmp: Fix one possible panic when snmp_trap_helper fail to register

[PATCH nf v5 1/1] netfilter: snmp: Fix one possible panic when snmp_trap_helper fail to register

[gfree.wind]

From: Gao Feng <fgao@ikuai8.com>

In the commit 93557f53e1fb ("netfilter: nf_conntrack: nf_conntrack snmp
helper"), the snmp_helper is replaced by nf_nat_snmp_hook. So the
snmp_helper is never registered. But it still tries to unregister the
snmp_helper, it could cause the panic.

Now remove the useless snmp_helper and the unregister call in the
error handler.

Fixes: 93557f53e1fb ("netfilter: nf_conntrack: nf_conntrack snmp helper")

Applied to nf, thanks.
