t should be NULL here, as offsetof(struct nf_conn, dst.protonum) == 0x36.
We should free the nf_ct_extend with call_rcu(), since nat ext is
referenced in the rcu read context.
Yes, I think the problem is triggered when nf_conntrack_free() is called by
different CPU during net->ipv4.nat_bysource hash traversal. Extensions
framework doesn't have any SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU magic.

I'm not sure, but couldn't this problem be introduced by:

ea781f197d6a835cbb93a0bf88ee1696296ed8aa
netfilter: nf_conntrack: use SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU and get rid of call_rcu()

?
