[NETFILTER]: Fix NAT sequence number adjustment
The NAT changes in 2.6.11 changed the position where helpers are called and perform packet mangling. Before 2.6.11, a NAT helper was called before the packet was NATed and had its sequence number adjusted. Since 2.6.11, the helpers get packets with already adjusted sequence numbers. This breaks sequence number adjustment, adjust_tcp_sequence() needs the original sequence number to determine whether a packet was a retransmission and to store it for further corrections. It can't be reconstructed without more information than available, so this patch restores the old order by calling helpers from a new conntrack hook two priorities below ip_conntrack_confirm() and adjusting the sequence number from a new NAT hook one priority below ip_conntrack_confirm().
