[48/93] netfilter: nf_conntrack: restrict runtime expect hashsize modifications

[Greg KH]

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 13ccdfc2af03e09e60791f7d4bc4ccf53398af7c upstream.

Expectation hashtable size was simply glued to a variable with no code
to rehash expectations, so it was a bug to allow writing to it.
Make "expect_hashsize" readonly.
