When a nf_conntrack_l3/4proto parameter is not on the left hand side

This change is useful from a documentation point of view, and can
possibly facilitate making some nf_conntrack_l3/4proto structures const
subsequently.

Done with the help of Coccinelle.

Some spacing adjusted to fit within 80 characters.

Could you rebase on top of nf-next git tree?

Thanks a lot!
