    netfilter: nf_ct_helper: better logging for dropped packets · b20ab9cc

    Connection tracking helpers have to drop packets under exceptional
    situations. Currently, the user gets the following logging message
    in case that happens:
    
    	nf_ct_%s: dropping packet ...
    
    However, depending on the helper, there are different reasons why a
    packet can be dropped.
    
    This patch modifies the existing code to provide more specific
    error message in the scope of each helper to help users to debug
    the reason why the packet has been dropped, ie:
    
    	nf_ct_%s: dropping packet: reason ...
    
    Thanks to Joe Perches for many formatting suggestions.
