upstream commit a874752a10da113f513980e28f562d946d3f829d depends on:

commit 6c1fd7dc489d9bf64196f5b0fa33e059f64460c8
Author: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue Aug 7 17:14:15 2018 +0200

netfilter: cttimeout: decouple timeout policy from nfnetlink_cttimeout object

So I would suggest to keep it back / not place it 4.18.x stable.

Thanks.
