Set IPS_HELPER bit to bypass auto-assign logic, its unwanted, just like when helper is assigned via ruleset. Dropped old 'not strictly necessary' comment, it referred to use of rcu_assign_pointer() before it got replaced by RCU_INIT_POINTER(). NB: Fixes tag intentionally incorrect, this extends the referenced commit, but this change won't build without IPS_HELPER introduced there.
