Now this patch also handles synproxy extension, so I'd suggest the
title and description are adapted to match to what the patch does, I
suggest this:
netfilter: synproxy: Check oom when adding synproxy and seqadj ct extensions
When memory is exhausted, nfct_seqadj_ext_add may fail to add the
synproxy and seqadj extensions. The function nf_ct_seqadj_init doesn't
check if get valid seqadj pointer by the nfct_seqadj.
Now drop the packet directly when fail to add seqadj extension to
avoid dereference NULL pointer in nf_ct_seqadj_init from
init_conntrack().
More comments below.

Not your fault, we have more pr_debug() in nf_conntrack. I don't think
this is very useful, actually I don't remember when was last time I
enabled these pr_debug() in nf_conntrack.
This pr_debug() is a bit like crack, once you get hooked into this,
you have to think a bit if you can get rid of it.
So while we're deciding if we want to get rid of it or not, better not
introduce more pr_debug() into this code.

Regarding this, I think Florian is right.
static inline struct nf_conn_seqadj *nfct_seqadj_ext_add(struct nf_conn *ct)
{
return nf_ct_ext_add(ct, NF_CT_EXT_SEQADJ, GFP_ATOMIC);
}
Since this just leaves this NULL.
I got confused by nf_ct_nat_ext_add() which although looks the same,
it has different semantics.
So this NF_DROP you initially introduced is fine.
