[nftables PATCH] netfilter: nft_ct: fix unconditional dump of 'dir' attr

[Arturo Borrero Gonzalez <arturo.borrero.glez@gmail.com>]

We want to make sure that the information that we get from the kernel can be
reinjected without troubles.

The kernel shouldn't return an attribute that is not required, or even
prohibited.

Dump unconditionally NFTA_CT_DIRECTION could lead an application in
userspace to interpret that the attribute was originally set, while it was not.
