Liping Zhang deaa0a976b netfilter: nf_ct_dccp/sctp: fix memory leak after netns cleanup
After running the following commands for a while, kmemleak reported that
"1879 new suspected memory leaks" happened:
  # while : ; do
  ip netns add test
  ip netns delete test
  done

This is because we forgot to implement the get_net_proto for sctp and
dccp, so we won't invoke the nf_ct_unregister_sysctl to free the
ctl_table when do netns cleanup. Also note, we will fail to register
the sysctl for dccp/sctp either due to the lack of get_net_proto.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
