I think we might want to add this to nf-next:

@@ -408,8 +410,10 @@ int nf_ct_l4proto_pernet_register_one(struct net *net,
	pn = nf_ct_l4proto_net(net, l4proto);
-       if (pn == NULL)
+       if (pn == NULL) {
+               ret = -EINVAL;
		goto out;
+	}

so that nf_ct_l4proto_pernet_register_one() will return failure.

Maybe even add a WARN_ON in nf_ct_l4proto_net() to catch this.
