I see proto->init_net allocates in->ctl_table, then
nf_ct_l3proto_register_sysctl release it if it fails. I got confused
because I did not see where that memory was being freed. Then, it's
good.
Still one more thing:

I think proto->init_net has to be mandatory since all protocol support
pernet already. We can add BUG_ON at the beginning of the function if
proto->init_net is not defined.
I can manually add that to the patch if you see no inconvenience with
it.
