Subject: netfilter: nfnl_cthelper: fix runtime expectation policy updates

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>


[ Upstream commit 2c422257550f123049552b39f7af6e3428a60f43 ]

We only allow runtime updates of expectation policies for timeout and
maximum number of expectations, otherwise reject the update.
