struct nf_conntrack is allocated by nfct_new(). You would find this
function called in __callback() in src/callback.c. Then it parses
nlmsg and updates nf_conntrack, calls callback function you
registered.

The __callback() is registerd as callback of which libnfnetlink will
call when conntrack nlmsg has received, at nfct_callback_register()
in src/conntrack/api.c.

# it seems that using nfct_callback_register, functions related to
# libnfnetlink, is discouraged for me.

I hope this is an answer you are looking for.
Thanks,
